Thus Lived Our Ancestors - Jean-louis Beaucarnot - 1990

Description (ch)

• After revealing who our ancestors were in a previous bestseller, Jean-Louis Beaucarnot describes their daily lives here.

Through the centuries and throughout the year, from the cradle to the grave, he brings them back to life, in a very exotic setting and with mentalities that will often seem strange or out of step.

What are the origins and meaning of many of our rituals? From Candlemas to Christmas, including May 1st, July 14th, or the curious "Feast of Fools"... How were baptisms, first communions, military service, and wedding nights organized...

• Our entire history and culture are revisited and illuminated, with the passion and talent of the man commonly called the pope of genealogy, whose shows are a hit on Europe 1.
