In 1975, he married and moved to Beaumont-le-Roger in Eure and taught French Literature at the Marie Curie Collège (Secondary School) in Bernay. The first manuscripts which Delerm sent in from 1976 were refused by publishers. In 1983, ''La Cinquième saison'' aroused interest in the author, and he won the 1990 Prix Alain-Fournier for his novel ''Autumn''. He achieved his first major success in 1997 with the release of ''La Première gorgée de bière et autres plaisirs minuscules''. A collection of 35 essays or meditations, each one or two pages in length, ''La Première gorgée de bière et autres plaisirs minuscules'' describes the joys that can be taken in the "insignificant things" that make up life. It was translated into English as ''The Small Pleasures of Life'' (also known as ''We Could Almost Eat Outside: An appreciation of life's small pleasures'') by Sarah Hamp. Delerm ended his teaching career in 2007 in order to concentrate on his writing on a full-time basis. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philippe Delerm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
