Who was she? How had she gotten there? How was she able to survive in this hostile environment? The “Wild Woman” of the upper Vicdessos has caused a lot of fantasies and has caused a lot of ink to flow! Found naked in the mountains at the very beginning of the 19th century, this heroine, despite herself, was the subject of numerous works and articles, often fictionalized.
At the end of the year, and in anticipation of the holidays, the publishing house Vox Scriba® offers to meet “The unknown woman of the Pyrenees”, a sort of summary of the data.
The author of the book, Florent Antras, led the investigation, bringing together archival documents, testimonies, books, poems, works of art… Will the enigma be solved? Nothing is less certain, but several years of research have led to this reference book, coupled head-to-tail with a comic strip by the illustrator Guillaume Bertrand.
Florent Antras and Guillaume Bertrand will come to meet readers in several bookstores in Ariège. The Majuscule bookstore in Foix will welcome authors and publisher this Saturday, November 25, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., then it will be the turn of Chez Ariège Tradition in Les Cabannes on November 26, the Saint-Gironnais bookstore La Mousson, on December 8 as well as the bookstore A the letter on December 9, and finally the Les Beaux Livres bookstore in Ax-les-Thermes on December 27.
But the official launch will take place at the place where the events took place, in Vicdessos, this Saturday, November 25, from 4:30 p.m., with a mini-conference given in the village hall.
