Le Salaire de la peur
Back in France in 1950, he published his first novel "The Wages of Fear", inspired by his journey. Then came new works from his experiences: "The Journey of the Wicked Thief" and "Schtibilem 41" (on his stay in prison). He also reported for various newspapers. In 1952, the filmmaker Henri-Georges Clouzot made a film adaptation of "The Wages of Fear" with Yves Montand and Charles Vanel.
