Abstract

Le moulin n’est pas seulement le bâtiment industriel par excellence de l’ancienne Europe. Il est aussi un “fait social total” dont l’étude implique la pluridisciplinarité. Archéologues, historiens, ethnologues, spécialistes de la littérature et de la parémiologie sont rassemblés dans ce livre pour faire le point des connaissances et, ce faisant, restituer une galerie d’images contrastées allant de la silhouette du seigneur rapace au sourire de la “belle meunière”.

Abstract

"Most of Whitehorn's Windmill was written in 1942, during the German occupation. Written in a lyrical style that gives full rein to the oral folktale tradition Lithuania is famous for, it is by turns romantic, farcical, fantastic, and tragic. The sense of spirituality that permeates the work reflects Lithuania's pagan roots that were overlaid with an occasionally over-zealous Catholicism not so very long ago. The novel is about Whitehorn the miller's efforts to find a match for his beautiful daughter, Jurga, against various calamities with and among suitors, neighbors, priests and other inhabitants of the village, and ultimately against the devil's spell"--Jacket.
