Urbain Grandier Alexandre Dumas

Dumas Alexandre - Urbain Grandier (Famous Crimes): Talented and intelligent speaker, Urbain Grandier obtained his Saint-Pierre cure at the market of Loudun at a very young age. This brilliant young abbot is the darling of the young women of the city. He will quickly have enemies, many enemies, that his great airs and his pride do not spare. It is then that satanic possessions appear among the Ursuline sisters of Loudun. Urban would he be a sorcerer?Urbain Grandier belongs to this series of famous Crimes in which Dumas has carried out an enormous amount of documentary research. He describes the fate of an ambitious young man who is a little too intelligent in a small provincial town: it can only end badly... But this story remains beautifully written: Dumas gives us a description of events almost detached but where emotion pierces, and once again the blood will spurt ... waiting for the flames of the pyre. Not much different, albeit a little less bloody, from what is happening in the 21st century....
