« Que ce soit une femme ne te gêne pas ? - Un cou est un cou. »Pour échapper à la galère, Justinien Pibrac devient bourreau officiel du seigneur de Belle rocaille. Le jour de sa première exécution,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Its a very well written book describing in much detail how an executioner family works, lives through generations in France. It provides a great detail to the mind of the executioner for 8 generations of turmoil in France. Its exciting and remantic at times all in mystery and dark side of the bloody trade. I loved it , time went by reading it, and I have to thank this book for couple of unslept nights.

I've read this book, and it's quite interesting.It kept me reading for so long that I didn't know the time was passing so fast. It's highly detailed in almost every aspect of the story: The founding of a town, the circumstances of the heroe,the traditions of a dinasty, etc.It's fabulous!
Surely one of the best book I have ever read!

I bought this book without knowing what I was geting and guess what? Jackpot!!! Weird title, a writer i had never heard about, soon became one of the best books i ever read. Its a pity that its not easy to find more of Folco's works tranlated in Portuguese -wich is my language- or even English. If you are a book lover, don't miss the chance to get this masterpiece; I'm sure you wont regret the money!
