The Return of Martin Guerre by Natalie Zemon Davis

5.0

an excellent and extraordinary depiction of tragedy that instead of occurring in our heads, occurred in the historical record. davis has an expectional way of grabbing the audience by their hearts and minds through the story of martin guerre. this story is not only about the trickery that unfolded but the life of peasants, religion, marriage, and the culture of sixteenth century france.
