About This Book

Une auberge paysanne tenue par une mère et sa fille devient le lieu d'une dégradation familiale après la disparition du père. La fille épouse un maçon dont l'ivresse chronique transforme les clients et la maison en source de violences domestiques et de dettes. Un médecin, appuyé par un représentant local, intervient pour dénoncer l alcool comme un poison comparable à une rage héréditaire et avertit des conséquences physiques et morales pour la famille et la descendance. Le récit décrit la vie rurale, la pauvreté, la brutalité de l alcoolisme et les tensions entre devoir social, santé publique et survie quotidienne.
