Laurent Vogel and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This book was produced from images made available by the HathiTrust Digital Library.) "Au cœur de l'Auvergne" by Jean Ajalbert is a memoir-like work written in the early 20th century. This book offers a deeply personal reflection on the author's childhood experiences in the Auvergne region, blending nostalgic memories with cultural observations about the local life, language, and music of the Auvergnats. Through vivid descriptions and anecdotes, Ajalbert imparts a sense of place and identity that resonates with those familiar with the rural French landscape. The opening of the book introduces us to the author's reflections on his childhood in Auvergne, where he feels a deep connection despite being born in Levallois-Perret. He recalls the warmth of family gatherings marked by music, traditional dances, and the pervasive influence of the local patois. The narrative touches on both joyful and sobering memories, such as the festive preparation for winter and the grim realities of the 1870 siege of Paris. Ajalbert muses about his ancestors' roots, the persistence of local culture amidst change, and his profound love for the Auvergnat landscape and lifestyle, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the region's cultural heritage.
