Mudadas - Joan-Peire Lacomba

Mudadas - Joan-Peire Lacomba

In this collection of ten short stories, Jean-Pierre Lacombe interweaves reality and dream, as his characters come up against the accidents of life and the upheavals of history. Fears, loves, violence, spells and the misfortunes of war reveal what remains hidden in the depths of hearts and souls.

The author of Mudadas takes us on a journey through the lives of men and women, in the language of her native Bort (Corrèze - France).

With an Occitan-French glossary.
