Description
Deeply set in the heart of French folklore, Soupes d’orties is a collection of short stories taking place in Corrèze, a region the author holds dear. In each of these stories, different characters recount incredible events to Martial Chabannnes, a retired teacher who, by listening, will bring this narrative together. With him, the reader discovers the legend of the Dame Blanche, an apparition, the Drac demon, a dangerous monster who plays tricks on farmers, the werewolf and many other "evil" characters. Respectful of countryside characters and customs and old French legends, Michel Peyramaure modernizes traditional tales making them more accessible to contemporary readers.
