Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of two families living in a small village in France, offering a poignant glimpse into the lives of peasants during the early 19th century. The author, through rich, evocative prose, transports us to a world of hard work, simple pleasures, and deep-seated beliefs. We meet Father Cadet, a man obsessed with acquiring land, and his step-daughter Madeleine, whose life is defined by toil and hardship. Across the road lives Dame Marie, the wife of the village schoolmaster, and her daughter Mariette. Their lives are intertwined with Father Cadet's through a web of shared hardship and kindness. The book explores the profound bond between humans and the land they inhabit, with the author drawing parallels between the peasant's love for their fields and the mythical allure of water. The narrative delves into the themes of faith, poverty, and the complexities of human relationships, particularly within the context of a rural community. Through the author's vivid portrayals of these characters and their interconnected lives, we gain a unique understanding of the social and economic realities of pre-industrial France.

From the collection of William B. Allison (1829-1908), the powerful Iowa Republican who, as U.S. senator from that state (1873-1908), was one of the "big four" who controlled the Senate; as chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee for most of those years, he championed tariff legislation and co-authored the Bland-Allison Act of 1878; as member of the Senate Finance Committee he was often courted by U.S. presidents to hold cabinet positions. Early 20th century bookplate on front pastedown records "This book is part of Allison Memorial Collection Gift of Mrs. Jennie A. Brayton" and until deaccessioned was part of Allison's non-circulating collection at his hometown public library across the street from his Dubuque residence. Notes Leland L. Sage in his 1956 biography "William Boyd Allison: A Study in Practical Politics," Allison owned "hundreds of books on government, economics, history, banking, finance, and the tariff.
