Memoirs of Marcelin Albert (French edition) + DVD Show Oc Les Vignerons

Dive into the heart of the wine history of Languedoc with The Memoirs of Marcelin Albert, emblematic figure of the revolt of the winegrowers of 1907, who waged a fierce struggle to defend an identity both Cultural and Economic : that of the Languedoc viticulture.

This historical work rare, richly illustrated with large-format vintage photographs, reveals an unpublished testimony found and published by Christian Salès. Through his own words, written more than 100 years ago, Marcelin Albert reveals to us his truth, his fight against fraud and speculation, and his commitment to supporting a threatened peasant world.

The narrative takes on a dramatic dimension with the episode of the train ticket paid by Clemenceau, a controversial episode that marked the downfall of this legendary rebel. In the background: a colossal mobilization, 800,000 demonstrators in Montpellier, a tax strike, the resignation of numerous municipal councils... events that have shaken the Wine-growing Languedoc forever.

This beautiful tête-bêche book, to the generous format (30 x 24 cm), is much more than just a testimony: it is also a Multimedia work. Included in this work, a DVD of the show "OC Les Vignerons". Captured at Argeliers, the cradle of the revolt, this creation blends period costumes and texts, , modern music, , historical projections and original staging to revive the collective memory of the winemakers of the South.

A true tribute to the Wine culture of Languedoc, from Antiquity to the present day, to give as a gift or to treat oneself.
