Des mois et des jours, almanach occitan - Michel Chadeuil

(Months and Days, Occitan Almanac)


This bilingual book (occitan and french) by Michel Chadeuil presents a work of collection, led by the author from childhood to today, on the sayings, proverbs and legends of Périgord.


The merit of this work of more than sixty years is to preserve from oblivion the fruit of the secular observation of the seasons, months and days in Occitan country.


Explain it and, above all, put it in context, in spite of the sociological as well as the climatic changes. And to share with humor and relevance the extraordinary richness of ancestral knowledge.
