Sinossi
Excerpt from The White Rocks: A Novel
The day the cattle fair takes place, No one needs to wash his face.' The Bfilois did not understand at once, being of a slow mind. While his companion was explaining the meaning of the saying, came the notary Tiercet, long, lean and bony, with his impassive face and bleary eyes and little thin nose abruptly tilted. He had the gait of a wading bird furnished with the beak of a bird of prey. He joined the pair without interrupting the conversa tion, being one of those who speak little, hear much and always have the air of ruminating something. A moment after, this conversation, which still turned on the kind of weather they were accustomed to at cattle fairs, was broken into by the syndic, Charles Quartier, a man of portentous dimensions, his red countenance bristling with yellow, hair, blowing like a porpoise, jovial, as he was always, with a joviality, however, that was rather calculated and employed at opportune moments to hide deep designs. He was perspiring all over. While shaking the hands that were tendered to him, he took off his vast straw hat - the first straw hat of the season - disclosing a thick fleece of tangled hair, yellow as his beard, although a little grizzled, and steeped in sweat. He shouted at them, rolling forth his familiar oath in thunderous tones: Nom de nom!
Nom de nom! What infernal weather for the month of April!

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life of a young pastor in a small town in the 19th century. The author presents a nuanced exploration of his struggles and triumphs as he navigates the complexities of his new role within a community that is both welcoming and resistant to change. The pastor wrestles with his own doubts and uncertainties against a backdrop of social and religious tensions, including conflicts with his more traditionalist colleague, a powerful syndic, and the prejudices of the townsfolk. Throughout the narrative, the author examines the challenges and rewards of religious leadership, the importance of tolerance and understanding, and the resilience of faith in the face of adversity. This poignant and thought-provoking tale sheds light on the enduring relevance of religion and the complexities of human nature, making it a valuable read for anyone seeking insights into faith, community, and the search for meaning.
