Description
The book offers Czech readers a unique insight into the world of nomadic Romani tribes, focusing on healing practices. Pierre Derlon, as a great and witty storyteller, does not present a dry list of recipes, prescriptions, and treatment procedures, but rather a comprehensive view of the lifestyle of nomads with all the joys and sorrows of everyday and festive days.
Derlon's writing is based on rich life experiences; he has lived among nomadic tribes and in the circus since he was twenty. He recorded valuable personal testimonies about a culture in France and Western Europe that has completely disappeared, especially in the Czech Republic, where nomadic Roma were violently forced into a settled way of life as early as the late nineteenth century, and definitively after the communist coup.
The book is accompanied by comments on Czech and botanical realities by Alena A. Gajdušková and Jiří Sádlo.
