Prix du roman populiste
Prix du roman populiste is a French literary prize .
history
It was created in 1929 by Antonine Coullet-Tessier and awarded for the first time the following year. In the wake of literary populism , the prize was intended to honor a novel that describes the common people as people and lets them act. Populism is understood to mean the willingness of young students that emerged in Russia in the 1870s, who left their university to share their knowledge with farmers and craftsmen. In France, this movement was promoted by Leon Lemonnier (1890–1953) and André Thérive (1891–1967) and published in a Labor Manifesto on August 27, 1929. The award was not awarded in the years 1937 to 1939, 1946 and 1947, and 1978 to 1983.
