Peter Marsch (aka Claude Ferny)

Ton corps n’est pas à toi 

Collection Eclectique # 8, Editions de l’Arabesque, 1955

“Ton corps n’est pas à toi” (Your body doesn’t belong to you) is an atrocious and pathetic social novel about the girls to whom maternity is imposed.

Probably one of the darkest, most desperate novels written by Claude Ferny. Difficult to get out of it as one has entered it ... One can only be revolted when learning how the French Republic treated some of its children, among the most disinherited. We can only welcome the fact that, since then, Mrs Simone Veil has been there to change things.

Peter Marsh (aka Claude Ferny)

In "La Belle Négrière” and his sequel "Le Démon Blanc", Peter Marsh presents the last days of the slave trade and the Civil War with its extensions. The raids in West Africa, the life of the slaves in Louisiana, the bloody epic of John Brown, the expeditions of the filibuster Walker against Honduras and Nicaragua, the undercuts and horrors of the Civil War, , The assassination of President Lincoln, the founding of the Ku-Klux-Klan, the ephemeral reign of the White Sultan of Belda, ... The whole constitutes an appealing story, full of hatred and passion, burning like the fire of the braziers which strew it.

Historic novels published in 1955. (The author - real name: Pierre Marchand - said : “based on family archives”, among other sources)
