Les Déracinés (lit. 'The Uprooted') is an 1897 novel by the French writer Maurice Barrès. It is about a group of young men from Nancy who try to make careers in Paris, inspired by and to varying degrees disappointed by their former philosophy teacher, a man strongly devoted to the French Third Republic.[1][2][3][4][5]
It is the first novel in Barrès' trilogy Le Roman de l'énergie nationale (lit. 'The Novel of National Energy'). It was followed by L'Appel au soldat (1900) and Leurs figures (1902).[1]
