The baker's wife
The baker's wife
To bookDescription
A theatrical stroll through the heart of the Saint-Blaise site.<div> Everyone knows this story, about a baker whose young wife, Aurélie, leaves him for a handsome young shepherd. Beyond the allegory of the magnificent cuckold, embodied by the character of Aimable Castanier, it is the richness of the unique characters that Marcel Pagnol portrays with his unparalleled wit and poetry.</div><div> Aurélie lives in a time when the emancipation of women is not yet a reality, and her escapade with the shepherd appears as the symbol of an aborted attempt at liberation, which makes this character resolutely modern, far from the expected "frivolous woman" image.</div><div><br></div>
