If Ramuz is not well known today, such was not the case during his lifetime. His peripheral condition as writer, the history surrounding the publication of his works, the (misunderstood) orientations of his aesthetics account for this situation. The publication of his novels at the "Bibliothèque de la Pléiade" should bring about a "reclassification" of Ramuz, who would then find anew his proper place at the side of the writers who left their mark in the XX century.
