About This Book

A linked cycle of humorous, satirical tales rooted in provincial life that blends folk legend and everyday observation. It begins with a legendary episode in which a saint's umbrella effects a miraculous revival, then moves through scenes portraying family follies, ominous signs and small mysteries that lead back to the village, civic banquets and late-night counsel, and other episodes of local intrigue. Irony and affectionate detail consistently expose human vanity, lingering superstition, and the social rituals of a close-knit rural community.
