«Les Gagne-Misère: Petits métiers oubliés» is the social history essay by Gérard Boutet, published by France Loisirs in hardcover, in French.
The book recovers the memory of French trades that have disappeared or are in decline: salmon fisherman, sheep shearer, clog maker, charcoal burner, blacksmith or umbrella repairer, among others. With drawings and black-and-white photographs, it documents the gesture and the word of these workers in rural France of the 20th century.
The work was published in 1992 and consists of 254 pages, with an illustrated dust jacket.
Recommended for readers interested in social history, ethnography and traditional trades of rural France in the 20th century.
