The young researcher goes from the noisy Paris to the distant French hinterland. He dreams of studying rural life and morals of local residents in detail. The local mayor becomes a conductor along the paths of the swamps.
Behind the mask of everyday life, the hero will reveal funny and terrible secrets. After all, even his counselor part -time and vocation is also the main tomb, the young wild boar is the container of the soul of the local abbot, and the village fool is a true guide ... And they are all subordinated to the eternal transformation of fate, the inexorable wheel, the cycle of life and death. Only once a year it stops, and death takes a break. Then members of the funeral fraternity gather for their annual feast to discuss urgent issues and glorify life - filling their stomachs with a west, drinking liters of wine and stunning with table speeches! They definitely know everything about the world and man.
Exquisite, rich in cultural and historical allusions, in places homerically ridiculous, Rabelaisian saturated, in places the psychologically piercing text of Matias Enara is a real literary feast
