The Relay Price of the Novel of Escape precedes each year a book for its qualities of style and its direction of the imaginary one. It is decreed by Relay, network of diffusion stores of Books and Press in the great French public places; its jury is composed of personalities and professionals of the Voyage and Evasion.
Note: This price changed from 1978 to 1983, the name of “Ulysses Price” decreed by the Editions Hatchet Detail.
