In the Great City occupied by foreign armies, famine threatens. A mother therefore takes her children to the countryside, to their grandmother's house. Illiterate, miserly, mean, and even murderous, she makes life difficult for the twins. Far from letting themselves be defeated, they learn alone the laws of life, writing, and cruelty. Abandoned to their own devices, devoid of the slightest moral sense, they endeavor to draw up, every day, in a large notebook, an assessment of their progress and a list of their crimes.
Le Grand Cahier gives us an incisive fable about the misfortunes of war and totalitarianism, but also a true learning novel dominated by black humor.
