Description:
—Arsene Muselier returns to his home village at the end of the First World War. His only injury is a head wound, which sometimes provokes periods of delirium and fury. As he renews his acquaintance with the people he left behind – his mother, the old farmhand who brought him up after his father’s death, his former girlfriend, and many others – he becomes fascinated by the legend of La Vouivre, a creature with the body of a woman who lives in the marsh, surrounded by vipers. One day, Arsene sees the strange woman – she is naked, beautiful, alluring, and he is instantly enchanted by her. Can she be real, or is she merely a creation of his damaged mind…?
—We thought he was dead, Arsene Muselier. Also, when in the summer of 1919, he returned to the village, it was a surprise. The first surprise is Requiem, the gravedigger, who lives with La Robidet, as drunk as he is. Little by little, Arsene resumes his habits on the family farm, with his mother, Louise, Victor, his brother, the old Urbain who raised him, “Weasel” which he protects, a “remained” of his age. Outside, the Mindeur are always angry with the Muselier, the eldest of the Mindeur, Germaine, always sleeps with everyone …
Soon, the village was in turmoil: Requiem saw La Vouivre. A kind of fairy, immortal, coming from the bottom of time, tells Urbain, who lives in the ponds, has for only clothing a diamond in necklace. Beware who wants to take it: the vipers of La Vouivre are watching. Arsene meets her in turn, a certain bond is born between them, La Vouivre obsesses her. But his head injury hurts him, “prepare to die well” said La Vouivre. So he violently rejects the priest and his warnings against the demon, comforts Requiem abandoned by La Robidet, builds a house for Urbain from which Louise and Victor wanted to part. But when Belette seizes the diamond, Arsene cannot save it: both die together under the bites of vipers. And La Vouivre disappears in the waters.
