Good translation but typos throughout - hence the half star. ( ) Enard obviously wrote this novel as a celebration of the countryside where he grew up, the Poitevin Marshes and the Département of Deux-Sèvres around Niort. The centrepiece is a gloriously over-the-top account of the Gravediggers' Annual Banquet, held in Rabelais's alma mater, the ruined Abbey of Maillezais, and this is framed by a semi-comic account of a young Parisian ethnologist spending a year in a farming hamlet near Niort to learn about rural life in 21st century France. In between, we get all sorts of glimpses of the history of the region: the Wars of Religion, the Napoleonic period, the two World Wars, and so on. The novel is full of convincing, sympathetic and often very funny sketches of rural characters and realistic accounts of rural life, and in many ways it reads like a very good travel book, but there's also a kind of Buddhism-for-dummies framework of reincarnation and wheel-of-life going on, which was a little bit less convincing. Del guanyador del premi Goncourt. Un festí literari d’imaginació desbordant. El diari tragicòmic d’un estudiant d’antropologia que s’instal·la en un poblet francès s’entrelliga amb un recorregut insòlit i fascinant per la història de França des de la invasió dels francs fins al segle xx. Episodis d’amor i de tragèdia, de present i passat, embolcallen un esdeveniment excepcional: mentre arreu les defuncions no cessen de succeir-se, en aquest poble la Mort dona una treva de tres dies als vius i ofereix un parèntesi sorprenent de menjar, beure i celebració als seus servidors més fidels. El pantagruèlic banquet anual de la Confraria d’enterramorts. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

To research his thesis on contemporary agrarian life, anthropology student David Mazon moves from Paris to La Pierre-Saint-Christophe, a village in the marshlands of western France. Determined to understand the essence of the local culture, the intrepid young scholar scurries around restlessly on his moped to interview residents. But what David doesn't yet know is that here, in this seemingly ordinary place, once the stage for wars and revolutions, Death leads a dance: when one thing perishes, the Wheel of Life recycles its soul and hurls it back into the world as microbe, human, or wild animal, sometimes in the past, sometimes in the future. And once a year, Death and the living observe a temporary truce during a gargantuan three-day feast where gravediggers gorge themselves on food, drink, and language. Brimming with Mathias Ã%nard's characteristic wit and encyclopedic brilliance, The Annual Banquet of the Gravediggers' Guild is a riotous novel where the edges between past and present are constantly dissolving against a Rabelaisian backdrop of excess.
