Quatre vidas, una mòrt - Quatre vies, une mort - Florant Mercadier

Un òme en veitura en 2009, una bruèissa en 1485, un coble de paisans en 2012, un jovent en 1941, e un repais en 2023...
Lor punt comun ? Lor istòria es vertadièra.
Qual es la femna dins lo fum ? Per qual se quilha lo lenhièr ? Quin es lo secrèt entre aqueles paisans? Que fa aquel jove amb un fusilh a la man ? Que se passèt dins aquel ostal ?
Quatre vidas e una mòrt de desconeguts, endacòm entre Tarn e Avairon.

A man in a car in 2009, a witch in 1485, a couple in 2012, a teenager in 1941 and a meal in 2023...
What do they have in common? Their story is true.
Who is the woman in the fog? Who is the pyre being built for? What's the secret between these two peasants? What is this young man doing with a rifle in his hand? What happened in that house?
Four lives and one death of strangers, somewhere between Tarn and Aveyron.

Bilingual collection of short stories in Occitan and French.

The author:

Born in Aveyron in 1981, Florant Mercadier is a storyteller whose shows take him all over the world. He sometimes meets people who tell him the story of their lives, without always divining the beauty of it. So Florant writes things down and imagines what the silences don't say. Stories in history, perhaps...
"I always write to music. I've created playlists on YouTube to accompany the reading of these texts; if you feel like it, there's something for every taste. For those who want to hear the original version of these texts, you'll find at the end of these same playlists a reading by myself of each short story."
