Pierre Pessemesse - Trésors d'Occitanie

Pierre Pessemesse - Trésors d'Occitanie (Treasures of Occitania)

CD with selected pieces said by the author.

Master of a new Occitan prose which elevates a fierce realism to a high spirituality, he forges the living matter of his work in everyday humanity. It has been said that "Nhòcas e bahòcas" was "the book of a generation". Chronicler, lecturer, literary critic, he also made radio programs and films in the Oc language. Said by him in these extracts, his prose at once savory and rebel sets the tone of this great Provençal author.

In the Testimony of the Treasures of Occitania collection (Témoignage des Trésors d'Occitanie), the greatest writers of Oc language choose the anthology of their writings said by themselves. The set includes a CD and a 96-page book with texts in the Oc language and their translations into French. It is an exceptional sound document for both individuals and media libraries.
