The first Goncourt Prize was awarded on December 21st, 1903, to John-Antoine Nau, for his novel Force ennemie. Therefore, it seems appropriate to celebrate this anniversary with a book that retraces the history of this prize, a prize that has rapidly become the most prestigious and coveted of all the French literary prizes. This book is meant to be a sort of encyclopaedia, with the ambition to become a reference on the subject. For that matter, the 120 entries that constitute this book place each prize-winning novel in his literary and historical context. The book also highlights the history of the Académie Goncourt and its jury, as well as the controversies that have shaken the French literary landscape over the last 120 years.
