"Silky prose in this harrowing account of crime and punishment."— Kirkus Reviews "Using spare, effective prose, Chessex brilliantly renders both the inhospitable winter landscape of the mountains and the harshness of a society that makes monsters of its victims.'— London Review of Books "A superb novel, hard as a winter in these landscapes of dark forests, where an atmosphere of prejudice and violence envelops the reader."— L'Express "It's beautiful; it's pure, like a blue sky over a black forest. Giono without garlic and olives."— Le Point "Far from just telling us a simple story Chessex has had the intelligence to integrate a dose of poetry, of the aesthetics of sin, and of the metaphysics of the monster."— Lire Jacques Chessex, winner of the prestigious Goncourt prize, takes a true story and weaves it into a lyrical tale of fear and cruelty. 1903, Ropraz, a small village near the Jura Mountains of Switzerland. On a howling December day, a lone walker discovers a recently opened tomb, the body of a young woman violated, her left hand cut off, genitals mutilated, and heart carved out. There is horror in the nearby villages: the return of atavistic superstitions and mutual suspicions. Then two more bodies are violated. A suspect must be found. Favez, a stableboy with bloodshot eyes, is arrested and placed in psychiatric care. He escapes, enlists in the Foreign Legion as the First World War begins, and is sent into battle in the trenches of the Somme. Jacques Chessex, born in 1934, won the Prix Goncourt, France's most prestigious literary prize for his novel A Father's Love. He is considered one of Switzerland's greatest living authors. He lives in Ropraz.

The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration of religions as social systems- both in Western and non-Western societies; in particular, it examines religions in their differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their construction of identity, and their relation to society and the wider public are key issues of this series.

Jean Calmet approche de la quarantaine. Il est professeur de latin au lycée de Lausanne. Nous le découvrons le jour des obsèques de son père, le Dr Calmet, au crématoire de la ville, par un matin de soleil sur le lac. Va-t-il être, par cette mort, libéré ?Le Dr Calmet était un "personnage" : tyran familial, force de la nature, porté sur le vin blanc de Lavaux et les servantes d'auberge, troussant à l'occasion la gamine de 20 ans que son fils, adolescent, poursuivait gauchement de sa tendresse et de son désir sans oser la traiter comme elle l'attendait : en fille. Partout, toujours, Jean Calmet a cru sentir l'oeil de son père qui le guettait, son énorme appétit de vie qui rendait dérisoires les scrupules et les inappétences de son fils. Et voilà que, le père mort, son pouvoir mystérieusement s'amplifie, s'aggrave, se fait obsédant.
