By following the common thread of the genealogiy of the surname Cestia, the autor will introduce you to people who are more ofthen poor than rich, who are neither princes nor kings, but men and women whose ordinary lives are made up of chance and will. This book is not a novel. It’s all true. The archival documents are available on the author’s website.
Thus, through life stories, in a micro-history approach, Henri Cestia makes us encounter History.
