If the Age of Enlightenment illuminated the great cities, what about the dark side of the countryside? Profound changes were taking shape in France in a deleterious context that called into question sovereignty, Christian values, and the omnipotence of Louis XV, the beloved king. Then, in 1764, in the middle of a remote province, a man-eating beast appeared, mainly women and children.
The presence of this fabulous animal endowed with the gift of ubiquity, its contradictory descriptions, and the hunters appointed by it whose traps it thwarts do not escape the attention of the national and international press. What is really happening to this "scourge of God" that appeared here as if to punish a miserable rural society for its sexual disorders and supposed unrest?
Two hundred and fifty years later, the beast returns to the table to reveal the secret of the one who was, in her time, public enemy number 1.

The author :
Dominique Farigoux sometimes lets himself be guided from the image to the text as an illustrator. For him, the Beast of Gévaudan remains the quest for a chimerical key whose design of an animal, probably lost in its innocence, persuaded him to give it voice.
