Midi se meurt - Sauvons-le ! - Philippe Villemus
Le Papillon rouge Éditeur - 2016
This book is a song of love and a cry of anger. The South of France, with a well-defined natural and cultural entity, is threatened with death.
By demographic pressure, tourist inconsistency and real estate speculation. Through global warming, the destruction of native flora and fauna, and the pollution of ponds and the Mediterranean. But also by globalized standardization and Parisian centralism.
The alarm signal must be pulled. Should we not protect unique landscapes and nature, singing languages and accents, cheerful traditions, specific architecture, food recognized as one of the best in the world for taste and health, villages and regions if radiant, an art and a sweetness of life? The "southern civilization", which many peoples envy us, is in danger of disappearing.
By combining objective observations and memories, this book, without being backward-looking, is a call from the heart to protect the beauty of the South and safeguard its deep humanity.
The author :
Philippe Villemus was born in Sète, on the shores of the Mediterranean. Lover of the South, after having traveled the world, he returned to live in a small village in Languedoc, between sea and scrubland, in the middle of vineyards and olive trees. Professor-researcher, he has published more than twenty best-selling books.
