^#smrgSAHAF Présentation des Haïdoucs - Les Récits d'Adrien Zograffi -

Bois en Couleurs de Valentin Le Campion The synopsis of The Haiduks led me to expect that this story would be an adventure tale. In reality, the novella comprises of five short stories in which members of Floarea's Haiduk group take it in turns to tell each other their personal stories of how they chose this outlaw life. As historical fiction, The Haiduks has an unsettling sense of timelessness where it is difficult to pin the tales to an exact era. Wikipedia describes Haiduks (or hajducs) as bandits or freedom fighters who lived across the Balkans from the 17th to the 19th centuries. (on line review) Haïdoucs (Haiduklar), Balkanlar ve Doğu Avrupa tarihinde eşkıya, gerilla savaşçısı ya da halk kahramanı olarak bilinen toplulukları ifade eder.
