Title : Marie Adeline Antonin - Christian Signol - book
Summary :
Marie of the sheep - Adeline in Périgord - Antonin, peasant of the Causse
Marie. Abandoned on the day of her birth among the sheep, and taken in by a shepherd, she spent her life tending animals on the harsh plateau of Quercy.
Adeline. The daughter of thirteen children, forced from a very early age to work in the fields, then as a servant and cook, she will see her destiny tossed between children, seasons, wars...
Antonin. A child of the Martel plateau, he was also one of those peasants who worked with their hands from dawn until nightfall, one of those who carried within them, to the very end, the essential values on which our countryside has lived for thousands of years.
"At the time I wrote these three books, rural civilization had not yet been wiped out by urban civilization, which ended up covering it with a leaden blanket. Perhaps it is because Marie, Adeline, and Antonin knew "that bread has a flavor, the wind a scent, and life a meaning," that they have become precious to the men and women of today.
These three works are close to my heart and their heroes will, I hope, remain alive in you as they remain in me, in the light of an imperishable memory.
