In 1980 ''Carus'' had been awarded the Prix des Critiques. He also won the 2023 [[Prix Formentor]]. Among Quignard's most commented-upon works are his eighty-four "Little Treatises" (''Petits traitĂ©s''), first published in 1990 by Maeght. But his most popular book is probably ''[[All the World's Mornings]]'' (''Tous les matins du monde''), about 17th-century viola de gamba player [[Marin Marais]] and his teacher, [[Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe|Sainte-Colombe]], which was adapted for the screen in 1991, by director [[Alain Corneau]]. Quignard wrote the screenplay of the film, in collaboration with Corneau. ''[[Tous les matins du monde (film)|Tous les matins du monde]]'', starring [[Jean-Pierre Marielle]], [[GĂ©rard Depardieu]] and son [[Guillaume Depardieu]], was a tremendous success in France and sold 2 million tickets in the first year. It was subsequently distributed in 31 countries, and released in 1992 in the United States. The soundtrack was certified platinum (500,000 copies) and contributed to musician [[Jordi Savall]]âs international celebrity. Quignard has also translated works from the Latin (Porcius Latro), Chinese (Kong-souen Long), and Greek (Lycophron). == Works == === Novels, novellas, rĂ©cit === * ''Le Lecteur'' ([[Ăditions Gallimard|Gallimard]], 1976) * ''Carus'' (Gallimard, 1979) * ''Les Tablettes de buis dâApronenia Avitia'' (Gallimard, 1984).
