Saga familiale au siècle des Lumières autour d’une faïencerie en Gascogne In the XVIth century, an astute farmer from Chalosse decides to make himself tiles for his own use. He is at the root of a lineage of clay craftsmen that will lead, during XVIIIth century, to the foundation of a Faience factory. Intrigues, fortunate or unfortunate, are formed in the harshness and the cruelty of the social rapports of the time.
Hugues Brouchicot, still a child, will be forced to join the guild. His road will cross that of the abject Juste Damplun, the friend of Elias Choulas, abbot corrupted by card games and plays. The girl Juliette, orphan, then young widow, will find peace with Joào, emigrant runaway from the Portuguese inquisition. Armelle Micelli will be forced to marry, for her greatest misfortune, Servien Brouchicot, a sick pervert.
The fundamental customs of the XVIIIth century are redrawn here in all their bestiality, and whereas the women and the weak had to sometimes undergo the sadistic will of the powerful, we shall discover that the wisdom of the humble remains a source of bliss and enables happy reversals of situations.
