Title : The People of the Valley - Georges Ribes - Book

Summary :

Old Joseph was born well before the end of the 19th century. He lived through both world wars. Through portraits and anecdotes, he recounts the life of an isolated village, from the eve of the 1914-1918 war until the 1950s, from the last wolves... to the last schoolchildren! In the tradition of Memoirs of an Auvergne Grandpa, Georges Ribes recounts the daily life of a valley, a way of life swept away by progress from the big cities. Beneath the apparent lightness of a narration somewhere between fable and conversation, like the evening gatherings of yesteryear, he knows how to capture, with subtle humor, the scenes and characters that embody eras buried deep in memories.
