A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

This gripping and gory short novel revisits one of French history's stranger episodes ... Sticking closely to the known facts, Jean Teulé's novelisation offers no easy explanation for what happened but the transformation from rural idyll to hell on earth is terrifyingly convincing. --Financial Times

France's most esoteric comic novelist has taken a grisly portion of the country's history and served it up as a grim, memorable dish ... It's true. It's horrible. It's an extraordinary tale. --Independent on Sunday

Hard to stomach, but hard to put down. --Ramblings of an Avid Reader

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A true story.
Tuesday 16 August 1870, Alain de Monéys makes his way to the village fair. He plans to buy a heifer for a needy neighbour and find a roofer to repair the roof of the barn of a poor acquaintance. He arrives at two o'clock. Two hours later, the crowd has gone crazy; they have lynched, tortured, burned and eaten him.
How could such a horror be possible? With frightening precision, Jean Teulé reconstructs each step of one of the most shameful stories in the history of nineteenth-century France.
