Title in English: My name is Conques. A First-Person Guide from Soulages to Sainte Foy
The medieval site of Conques has been recounted through various lenses – by local communities, inhabitants, believers, pilgrims, and scholars. This guide instead presents readers with a unique narrative that bridges imaginative storytelling and historical records. Each chapter focuses on the story of a key figure in Conques’ extensive history, offering a narrative-guide that traces the site’s journey from its origins to the present. This approach highlights individual perspectives, shedding new light on both the history and modern invention of Conques. Just as each visitor experiences Conques personally, the authors aim to revive the voices of those who came before, brought vividly to life through Barbora Satranská’s illustrations.
