Histoires des paysans de France

Synopsis of Histoires des paysans de France

«Histoires des paysans de France» is the historical short story collection by Claude Michelet, published by Robert Laffont in paperback (301 pages, in French).

Seventeen stories trace the history of the French peasantry from prehistory to the present: the land, famines, epidemics, wars and technical advances. A member of the Vialhe family, on the brink of that world's disappearance, tells his grandson this rural memory.

The work was published in 1996 and is part of L'école de Brive, with bibliographic references at the end.

For readers interested in social history, French rural memory and stories passed down from generation to generation.
