The Soul of Cider

This work, a magnificent ethno-photographic and poetic reportage on the making of cider in a small village in the West of France, bears witness to the nobility of men at work and the beauty of the ancestral gesture. This high-quality coffee table book restores the memory of people and landscapes, gestures and techniques that constitute the richness of the cider civilization in the rural areas of the West, in Ille-et-Vilaine and beyond. In these regions with strong traditions, the photos (in color and black & white) by Pascal Glais, echoed by the texts of Michel Dugué, allow us to discover all the stages of cider production, from the orchard to the tasting.
