Sans Famille (Translation: Without Family) is an 1878 French novel by Hector Malot. It has been released in English (as Nobody's Boy and more recently Alone in the World) as well as many other languages, and has been adapted for film, television and theater multiple times.The story revolves around a young boy named Rémi, who at age 8 finds out he is actually adopted. Shortly after, he is sold to a travelling musician named Vitalis by his grumpy step dad, which is the start of a long series of adventures. Along the way, Remi makes new friends, but also loses several people close to him, and slowly learns more about his past.Among many adaptations, the best known is probably the 1977-1978 anime Ie Naki Ko (Nobody's Boy: Remi) by TMS Entertainment, Madhouse and Osamu Dezaki. There is also another anime from the 1990's, also titled Ie Naki Ko Remi, and a 2018 French film, Rémi sans Famille, starring Daniel Auteuil and Virginie Ledoyen. | |

The Fagin | |
| Sans Famille / int_1b901025 | comment |
The Fagin: Garofoli, a man who keeps a group of boys, sold by their poverty-stricken parents. He force them to work for him as The Artful Dodger and viciously beats those who do not bring home the amount of money required. It lands his sorry ass in jail after he kills one of his unfortunate protégés. Nobody's crying. | |

Papa Wolf | |
| Sans Famille / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: Vitalis towards Remi, even though the two are not related. Vitalis genuinely cared for the boy and became his mentor and example. His "Papa Wolf" side shows more strongly when he discovers that Garofoli, the man whom he was going to ask to look out for Remi in the winter, actually abuses his protegees and forces them to steal for him, and later when he protects Remi from dying in a snowstorm... in a Heroic Sacrifice. And he was also hinted to be one in his first apparition, when he "buys" Remi... after witnessing how horribly his abusive stepfather Jerome treats him, therefore choosing to "purchase" Remi half to have an apprentice and half to protect him. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Sans Famille / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: We first learn there might be more to Vitalis than meets the eye when, during a performance to raise money for a doctor to help the sic Joli-CÅ“ur, Vitalis sings. Remi is bewildered to find out his master can sing, and Vitalis' singing is praised by a rich lady. Although Vitalis pretends it is nothing, and that he simply used to be a singer's servant, we learn after his death that he indeed was a famous singer once. | |

Honor Before Reason | |
| Sans Famille / int_44fc28e8 | comment |
Honor Before Reason: No matter how blatantly the Driscolls neglect and mistreat him, no matter how many times Mattia begs him to drop them and scram before things turn ugly, Remi refuses to treat them with anything less than utmost devotion. Justified since the poor boy spent most of his life longing for a family and starved for affection. Turns out Mattia was right and things really turn ugly. | |

The Trap Parents: After Jerome’s death, Remi is told that his real parents are a British couple named the Driscolls. Along with his friend Mattia, Remi seeks them out and is taken in by them, however they are very cold towards him. Eventually, it turns out they aren’t his real parents at all, but just a bunch of thieves who are in league with James Milligan to keep Remi away from his real family. | |
