Description: This book offers a deeply personal and unflinchingly honest portrait of peasant life in rural France in the early to mid-19th century, as seen through the eyes of a young boy named Tiennon. The author, a peasant himself, weaves together Tiennon's vivid memories of childhood, including his experiences as a shepherd, his encounters with the natural world, and the anxieties and hardships of rural poverty, to create a compelling and moving narrative of daily life in a time of great social change. The book delves into the complex realities of rural society, including the tensions between the peasantry and the aristocracy, the struggles of the poor against a backdrop of economic hardship, and the harsh realities of rural work. Tiennon's experiences offer a powerful reflection of the resilience and adaptability of the peasant class, while also highlighting the enduring struggles for a more equitable and just world. This book is a testament to the enduring power of personal stories and the importance of understanding the lives of ordinary people.
