Interview with Alain Berset, editor of Mieusserand John Berger.

Come and visit the Ecomusée Farm! Get into a traditional farm rich of a period collection of daily items. You will go back to the past of a farmers' family from the Upper Giffre valley. The visit ends with a free tasting session (the visit lastes 2 hours).
English writer John Berger settled in Mieussy in 1973. From this immersion in the rural world of Quincy, he wrote three books mixing novels and short stories, including La Cocadrille, which inspired the play Les Trois Vies de Lucie Cabrol and the film L'Écho shot in the Sommand mountain pastures. Without idealism or nostalgia, John Berger captures different moments of this world in motion, whose testimonies illustrate the link to time, the land, love, and the values of preservation in the face of the change that embraces them. At once a novel of fiction and a committed documentary, the story captures the evolution of the farming world. Editions Héros Limite has just published this trilogy In their work for the first time in French.


Nora Bériou will question Alain Berset on the importance of this new edition and why it has been re-translated, as well as on his choice of publisher and his collaboration with John Berger since 2010 on Le Blaireau et le roi.
