<b>Ce passionnant roman historique revient sur les terribles épisodes de chasse au sorcière au Moyen âge.</b> <br> <br>Un habitant du village qui meurt accidentellement ou qui tombe malade, le bétail qui dépérit: tout prétexte est bon pour soupçonner quelqu’un de sorcellerie. Les autorités profitent alors de l’occasion pour juger des individus marginaux ou « gênants », femmes et hommes confondus, et montrer ainsi qu’elles font leur travail. Un geste mal interprété, un comportement étrange, voire une simple allusion à un chat noir, suffisent pour finir entre les mains du tribunal. Sous la torture, la plupart des personnes accusées avouent contre leur gré leur présumée connivence avec le diable... <i>La Sorcière de Dentervals</i> s’inspire des évènements qui se produisirent autour d’un procès pour sorcellerie en 1675 dans les Grisons. <br>Avec un effrayant réalisme, l’auteur nous raconte cette période noire, où le soupçon de sorcellerie était un motif suffisant pour condamner à mort les plus faibles <br> <br> <b>Un premier roman richement documenté et d'une vraie qualité littéraire !</b> <br> <br>EXTRAIT <br> <br>La pie jacasse. <br>Les cerfs lèvent la tête. Ils disparaissent à grands bonds dans la forêt. <br>Comme un canon qui gronde, le tonnerre sort de l’obscurité. Peu après, un autre éclair illumine le paysage. La lumière est aveuglante. La figure au manteau noir se lève en tremblant : est-ce la porte de l’église qui s’ouvre ? Est-ce un enfant en blanc qui se tient sur le pas de la porte de l’église ? <br>Le croque-mitaine semble pétrifié. Un bref instant, puis il prend rapidement le sac et part en courant comme un désespéré. <br>La pie bat des ailes. <br> <br>CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE <br> <br>Il ne faudra pas, bien sûr, accueillir ce roman comme un témoignage historique. Plutôt le voir comme une porte d’entrée sur une époque oubliée. Et faire des liens, toujours, avec notre présent qui connaît encore de tels débordements ou folies collectives. Une lecture détente donc, mais qui pourra devenir autre chose, pour peu que vous ayez l’envie de creuser plus loin, dans les sombres rouages de notre Histoire. - <b> Blog <i>Littérature Romande</i></b> <br> <br>L’auteur, historien, livre là son premier roman, qui bénéficie non seulement de son érudition mais d’un remarquable talent littéraire ! - <b>Joëlle Brack, Librairie Payot</b> <br> <br>À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR <br> <br> <b>Hubert Giger</b> est né en 1958.
