Des âmes simples

The product is titled "Des âmes simples," which translates to "Simple Souls." It is available in a grand format edition. The book tells the story of Father Pierre, who has been the priest of the Aspe Valley for fifty years. He knows everyone in the valley and performs their baptisms, hears their confessions, and buries them. In this rural area of France, people can no longer pretend to have faith.

The novel describes the daily life of a man who holds onto his faith alone in this remote region. It is an exploration of the lives of ordinary people, their struggles, and their uncertainties. The story takes place among shepherds and animals, lost souls and wandering celestial beings. The history of the valley mirrors the history of every man.

Pierre Adrian has absorbed the light of opal in this region and has listened to the inner guide. He has looked upon "the darkness" of people's lives and the despair of an era, but never forgets that "night as well as day illuminates."
