France's oldest and most prestigious literary accolade, the Prix Goncourt, has been awarded to the Arabic and Persian scholar Mathias Énard for his novel Boussole (Compass).
The choice of Énard, who has received a succession of prizes for his work since 2003, justified his status as this year's favourite for the award.
