«Dix rêves de pierre» is Blandine Le Callet's collection of short stories, published in hardcover by Stock in 2013 (247 pages, in French).
Drawing on authentic funerary epitaphs, the author imagines the last hours of ten deceased people: a young freed slave, a philanthropist trapped in a Parisian brothel, or an elderly woman drafting her will. Ten poetic, tender or fierce stories portraying a humanity driven by the same passions, fears and hopes.
The cover, in grey tones, reproduces a photograph of an eroded stone statue; the work's subtitle is «nouvelles».
For readers of short fiction and contemporary French literature seeking stories with historical and emotional depth.
