Language Notes Text: French From the Back Cover Dans un bourg des Ardennes situ entre deux pentes rocheuses, le maire et le restaurateur ont ide, pour attirer des touristes, d'utiliser les rumeurs populaires. Cellesci prennent certains rochers pour un ancien chteau dont le seigneur, jadis, faisait rouler des blocs sur les maisons des villageois qui lui refusaient l'impt. On dit mme que le fantme de ce comte est parfois aperu dans les roches sauvages. Le maire, pour faire accepter aux opposants les frais d'installation touristique, fait lire sur sa liste un certain Dsir, fils d'ouvrier. Ce Dsir n'avait rien pu apprendre l'cole mais il s'enchantait des mots savants du dictionnaire et les employait sans aucun propos. Embauch comme balayeur au journal de Charleville, il tait devenu correcteur quand on s'tait aperu de sa science des mots, mais il continuait d'habiter son bourg et d'aimer errer parmi les roches sauvages, comme d'ailleurs Lydie la servante de l'auberge, une orpheline peu expansive. Dsir, lu au conseil, n'entrane pas la population : au contraire, il veille la jalousie. De plus, le maire a beau faire apparatre, le soir, une fille dans les rochers, Dsir affirme qu'il n'y a pas de fantmes. Du, le maire le chasse du conseil. Dsir, au journal, laisse passer un gros 'doublon' et risque sa place. l'auberge du bourg, on ne veut plus le loger. la rivire, on le jette dans la boue, ce prtentieux, maintenant qu'il est dconfit. Alors, il se met rver de Lydie qui le mprisait et qui s'est enfuie de l'auberge. Mais, au moins, elle se taisait et son existence n'en tait que plus forte, tandis que les gens qui parlent, riches ou pauvres, instituteur, cur et maire inclus, semblent vivre des mensonges dont ils l'accablent. Que vatil advenir de Dsir et de Lydie ? Andr Dhtel a l'art de nous intriguer ds le dbut, et il ne nous lche plus. Avec ironie, il rsume dans ce village toute la socit. travers les palinodies humaines et l'insignifiance des jours, il met l'accent sur la vraie lumire de l'me et de l'amour. About the Author Andr Dhtel, n en 1900 et mort en 1991, est un crivain franais. Il a reu le prix Fmina en 1955 pour son roman Le Pays o l'on n'arrive jamais.
