A riveting journey of emtion.
Personal recognition of places I have experienced in my own life and complete recognition of the human nature of confronting cultures from my past. I understood the conflict encountered in my own family members revealed to me by intuition and family lore as growing up in the region of the Black Forest of Germany and as descendent of the Alemannik tribe spanning the region and the centuries of its history. This tale stemming from the beginning of the 20th century has reached over one hundred r
years later .
I was in awe.

A good read. The version I read (1925 reprint) included a lengthy introduction in both English and French, a vocabulary glossary at the end of the book, and very detailed English translations for french phrases, slang, cultural references, and even provided sheet music for songs sung by the characters! I enjoyed the story overall, wasn't on the edge of my seat, but don't think I was supposed to be either. It's a drama at heart, and that it does well. Would recommend.

Vraiment trop daté pour présenter un intérêt autre qu'anecdotique. Littérature dite "revencharde".
