Title : The Forgotten Country - Jean Anglade - book

• Summary

Hero of the novel The Gourd Thief, by Jean Anglade, Baptiste Pascal remained in Bavaria after the war. His author and creator wrote to him to persuade him to abandon his voluntary exile and return to his native Auvergne. This literary pretext allows Jean Anglade to offer a (re)discovery of his favorite province in letters posted from various places in Auvergne. Through this journey, as much historical as geographical, the most famous contemporary Auvergne writer offers an active stroll that combines rich documentation, personal memories, and humorous reflections that are not lacking in salt.

Cities, villages, unusual characters, and symbolic landmarks follow one another to paint a vivid picture of Auvergne. Through his reflections on the passage of time for both people and the country, Jean Anglade creates a "reportage" that is both intimate and well-documented on the Auvergne of yesterday and today.
