Reader's note

A wonderful copy of Clochemerle by Gabriel Chevallier. In this uninhibited comic, satire of the rivalry between the religious and the secular in a small, provincial town, Chevallier gives the reader a candid look at the social dynamics of French village life. When Barthélemy Piéchut, the town’s mayor, reveals his project for building a urinal in the centre of town feuds erupt between its inhabitants. The reason is the proximity of the public convenience to the parish church. The dispute gets out of hand with all the fighting and rioting that the government have to send in the army to sort things out. Will things ever be the same again?
