About this audiobook

Dans un court préambule, l’auteur nous explique que cette histoire est née d’une visite du château de Quartfouche, proche de Pont- l’Evêque. Lui-même, ainsi que Francis Jammes, y ont été amenés par Gérard Lacase qui en sera le narrateur.

Lacase, au moment des faits racontés, n'avait que vingt-cinq ans et travaillait à une thèse sur Bossuet. Son maître de thèse lui conseille de se rendre chez un certain Monsieur Floche, grand spécialiste de Bossuet et en possession de documents très rares de cet auteur. Floche et son épouse habitent à Quartfouche qui appartient à son beau-frère et sa belle-soeur, Monsieur et Madame de Saint-Auréol.

Dans le château, vivent également un abbé, Mademoiselle Olympe Verdure, le jardinier Gratien et la cuisinière Delphine son épouse. Mais, il y a aussi un petit garçon, un peu arriéré, qui porte le nom de Casimir. Il est le petit-fils de Monsieur et Madame de Saint-Auréol et porte le même nom de famille. Où sont ses parents ?.

André Gide

André Gide (1869 - 1951) was a French author described by The New York Times as, “French’s greatest contemporary man of letters.” Gide was a prolific writer with over fifty books published in his sixty-year career with his notable books including The Notebooks of André Walker (1891), The Immoralist (1902), The Pastoral Symphony (1919), The Counterfeiters (1925) and The Journals of André Gide (1950). He was also known for his openness surrounding his sexuality: a self-proclaimed pederast, Gide espoused the philosophy of completely owning one’s sexual nature without compromising one’s personal values which is made evident in almost all of his autobiographical works. At a time when it was not common for authors to openly address homosexual themes or include homosexual characters, Gide strove to challenge convention and portray his life, and the life of gay people, as authentically as possible.
