«Les mouchoirs rouges de Cholet» is the historical novel by Michel Ragon, published by Albin Michel in paperback (332 pages, in French).
In 1796, in the Vendée bocage devastated by the Infernal Columns, peasants try to rebuild their lives. Amid local myths, fear of the hussars and a somewhat sorcerous priest, these "bandits and aristocrats" experience the slow resurrection of their parish and the epic of the Chouan world, with episodes such as the visit of Napoleon I in 1808.
The novel won the Prix de l'Académie de Bretagne and was originally published in 1984.
For readers of historical fiction interested in rural France and the Wars in the Vendée.
Michel Ragon was a French art and literature critic and writer. His primary focus was on anarchic and libertarian literature.
