L'AUTEUR

Sonia Pelletier


A history and geography teacher in Alsace, Sonia Pelletier-Gautier is mostly inspired by her university researches in medieval and regional history to outline a very accurate picture of the Germanic Roman Empire Society at the awakening of Rhenan humanism. Rich with archaeological and museum experiences, she also published a number of articles in newspapers and historical magazines, taking part, as well, in collective works, such as the dictionary of Alsacian biographies. On top of that, her thesis was awarded a prize by the “Conseil Général du Haut Rhin”, and published, warranted by the “Société Savante” of Eastern Regions. Mixing up Rhenan forgotten of famous actors with fiction but credible characters, she restores from the past the fear of inquisition to stimulate her contemporaries’ thinking about vanity of certainties at a time that could be theirs.

Un fantastique procès en inquisition. Une famille détruite, une ville en ébullition.

December 1489. Christine Fritz was arrested for witchcraft. Helped by the Murbach priest, the lord of the city, the Dominican Ulrich Bichwiller, examines the case methodically and with integrity, strictly applying the inquisition laws, particularly for an eventual use of torture.
About the case, plots of all kinds circulate rapidly in Guebwiller. The population, at once versatile and divided, in turns full of hatred or compassion, observes with anguish starvation coming up and the wolves entering the city. Neither the city council nor prayers are apt at stopping the plague.
So far well considered and without problems, the Fritz Family questioned by the inquisitor and pointed out as having generated a witch, is to be inexorably sucked up by a wave of misfortune that no one can ever control. The Thibault son’s departure for Compostella is but a beginning for a long sequence of suffering.
Will Christine be strong enough to fight for her life and her honour? Can Bichwiller be able to disentangle to subtle intricacies between real and false evidence?
With a kind of realism drawn from documents of the time, this second volume of the “Inquisitor’s Dilemmas” questions the very notion of truth itself, and describes the development of an inquisition trial mixed up with the social, religious and artistic life of a small town of the Germanic Roman Empire.
It also shows how the population, overwhelmed with appalling curses, can find motives to overcome difficult living in the will to punish symbolically guilty people.
