Prélude de Pan

A mysterious stranger, a rumbling storm, drunken peasants, and suddenly there's an outburst of violence, a collective trance that takes hold of the whole village, ending in a Dionysian orgy.... A woman is charmed by the songs of an Italian worker, to the despair of her husband; an old man will do anything to defend the trees he has planted; a young girl stains her wedding dress by helping her father bleed a pig...
Four short stories with a bitter taste, four texts marked by the evil that gnaws at the heart of peasants.
