It took twenty years of patience for Freddy Touanen to extract from the secret of the Brevon farms some two hundred legends tales and tales all linked to the collective memory of this region of the Savoyard Prealps. All of them have their origins in the oral tradition that has been passed on from generation to generation modified over the centuries. They have a pronounced taste of the land because they are authentic peasant chronicles born from the memory of the evenings of the past. It is certainly there too one of the riches of the patient work of F. Touanen that of having known while respecting the essential framework to bring there his personal sensitivity linked to his insatiable love for this idyllic country of Dranses. and more particularly for one of these valleys called Le Brevon or Dranse de Bellevaux. of course grouped shipping costs in case of multiple purchases.

Pious Fictions and Pseudo-Saints in the Late Middle Ages. Selected Legends from an Icelandic Legendary
, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, xii + 282 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9780888443113.
Summary This volume provides English translations of selected legends from a remarkable sixteenth-century Icelandic collection known as the Reykjah lab k. The Middle Low German originals it translates are no longer extant, apocryphal wholly or in part, and wondrous strange. The eight legends translated here detail the adventures of St Oswald and his quest for a bride by a garrulous raven; Henry and Cunegund, and her accusation of infidelity and trial by ordeal; John Chrysostom, the Golden-mouthed, and his hairy-anchorite tale; Jerome and an injured lion, who herds asses for the monastery; Christopher, the giant Reprobus, who bears the Christ child across deep waters; George, the Dragon-slayer, who saves a princess from the devouring monster; the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus, who escape persecution by Emperor Decius through centuries-long slumber; and Gregorius, the Good Sinner, in a tale of double incest. In fictionalizing the lives of established saints, and in the creation of fictitious saints, these legends represent the concluding chapter of medieval hagiography. The volume also includes a wide-ranging introduction that surveys the historical and literary contexts for the translation of Catholic saints' lives on the eve of the Protestant Reformation in Iceland, as well as normalized editions of the legends accessible to readers of contemporary Icelandic.
