Story
XIXe siècle, en Dordogne. Les Marsac se partagent entre l'exercice de la médecine et l'exploitation du Grand Castel. Cette dynastie, fondée par Pierre, qui n'avait ni père ni terre, se donnera comme devoir celui de la mémoire : Écrire, à chaque génération, l'histoire du combat de cette famille pour faire avancer le progrès dans une population minée par les maladies, les superstitions et l'ignorance... Un quatuor où se répondent, dans le temps, les voix de Pierre, Albine, Aurélien et Ludivine Marsac.

Story
C'est Elina Donadieu, la mère de Benjamin, qui appelle la Dordogne "La Rivière Espérance". Car pour tout le peuple de la vallée, la Dordogne est la vie, le grand chemin ardent, violent et coléreux, fraternel et généreux aussi, qui, tel un Dieu, dispense bonheurs et malheurs, fortune et misère sur ses rives, de Souillac aux portes du Périgord jusqu'à Libourne et la Gironde.

Story
Depuis son enfance, Bastien a toujours vécu dans la forêt. Pour lui, les arbres vivent, parlent, rêvent. Ils veulent renouer avec le ciel. Il en connaît tous les mystères, tous les sortilèges qu'il révélera à sa petite-fille gravement malade, venue se réfugier auprès de lui. Pour Bastien, elle est comme une forêt fracassée par l'orage. Mais il ne doute pas de sa guérison s'il se bat à ses côtés et partage ses secrets.

Story
À quoi peuvent songer trois soldats dans le petit matin glacial du 11 novembre 1918, à l'aube d'un armistice dont ils ne savent rien encore ? Un fils de notaire du Périgord, un instituteur du pays cathare et un ouvrier parisien qui n'auraient jamais dû se rencontrer, trois hommes jetés dans l'enfer et qui se raccrochent désespérément au souvenir de leur vie d'avant pour ne pas sombrer. Les yeux fermés, ils se souviennent de ces heures de paix lumineuses qui donnaient un sens à l'amour et à l'insouciance.

Story
En 1942, en Dordogne, la ligne de démarcation croise le cours de l'Isle. La ferme des Laborie est à deux pas de la rivière, et Virgile ne refuse jamais sa barque à ceux qui tentent de passer en zone libre. Avec sa femme Victoria, ils n'ont jamais eu d'enfants, et lorsqu'on leur demande de cacher Sarah et Elie, deux gamins juifs perdus dans la tourmente, ils les accueillent sans hésiter, en dépit des risques que leur font courir les trahisons, les dénonciations, les contrôles incessants.

Ils sont encore enfants quand commence le XXe siècle. Nés dans une famille de pauvres métayers du causse de Gramat, ils ne peuvent choisir qu'entre le départ ou la soumission. Mais déjà le monde change, des idées nouvelles circulent qui commencent à ébranler cet univers de pierre figé dans l'Histoire. Les hommes partent à la guerre ; les femmes demeurent, patientes prêtresses de la vie et de la mort. Et l'Histoire s'acharne qui, après une guerre, en apporte une autre, avec ses malheurs : la défaite, l'exode et cette guerre civile qui déchire les familles.

Chaque été, Charles invite Antoine chez ses grands-parents, en Dordogne. Alors que tout les sépare - Antoine est boursier, Charles est fils de receveur des finances -, les deux adolescents partagent une amitié sans concession, une de celles qui aident à se surpasser. Un été, ils rencontrent Séverine, étudiante comme eux à Périgueux. Entre ces trois êtres, un lien se noue, fait d'amour et d'amitié. Mais ce bonheur que nul ne croyait menacé se brise à la fin de l'été 1939 : comme des milliers de jeunes, Charles, Antoine et Séverine vont devoir entrer en résistance pour retrouver l'harmonie perdue et la paix des saisons.

Story
Marie ne connaissait pas la date exacte de sa naissance. Johannes, le vieux pâtre de Maslafon, l'avait trouvée endormie parmi les brebis un matin d'automne 1901. Il la baptisa "Marie des brebis" et l'aima comme sa fille. Près d'un siècle plus tard, cette même Marie, en sa grande vieillesse, confie sa vie à Christian Signol. Il l'écoute avec passion et nous offre un livre audio qui fleure bon le laurier sauvage des Causses, le miel et l'orange de Noël. L'existence de Marie, toute simple et modeste, rythmée par les saisons et les bouleversements de l'histoire, est une formidable leçon de courage et d'humanité, comme si parfois la vérité n'était jamais aussi juste que dans la bouche des plus humbles.

J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.
