Henri Lacombe

Glory and decadence of the Brieuc family Henri Lacombe

In the heart of deep France, this family saga took root at the beginning of the second half of the 19th century. It blends fiction with the reality of harsh peasant life, from intimate suffering to the small pleasures of everyday life and betrayals... described with an overwhelming humanity. We fully enter this book by sharing the fate of the personalities as the author finds the right tone and plunges into the truth of the characters: vanity, selfishness, egocentrism, pride but also kindness, simplicity, realism... The sobriety of the words gives all their strength to feelings and touches the deepest consciences. This novel goes from page to page and to the very last line of the values of humanism and fraternity. A beautiful reading for all those who love stories that can no longer be released.
