Paris ne s'est pas fait en un jour, et l. a. France ne s'est pas faite toute seule ! Les plaques de nos rues et les socles de nos statues portent les noms des responsables : ça va de los angeles rue Vercingétorix à l. a. rue Charles de Gaulle.
Et pourtant le nom le plus very important est absent de nos locations, de nos avenues, de nos boulevards et même de nos impasses : celui de Bérurier. Or, ce sont les Bérurier qui ont vraiment fait los angeles France. Avec leurs mains, leur sang et leur sueur.
Avec leur esprit aussi.
Soucieux de réparer cette criante injustice, j'ai essayé de reconstituer leur trajectoire dans le temps.
BÉRURIER À TRAVERS LES ÂGES
Tel aurait pu être le titre de ce livre qui n'est pas une mystification mais, au contraire, une démystification.
Comme le langage, l'Histoire se doit de rester vivante ; c'est pourquoi je me suis connecté à en secouer l. a. poussière, à en " plumeauter " les toiles d'araignée, à en dédorer les tranches, les couronnes et les auréoles et à l. a. saupoudrer d'éclats de rire.
Un petit travail de réfection, quoi !
Il m'a permis de constater qu'on nous avait doré l'Histoire de France avec cette même poudre aux yeux qui sert aussi à nous dorer los angeles pilule !
