Colin Taylor

    1 januari 1937 – 1 januari 2004

    Gedreven door een levenslange passie voor Frankrijk – de taal, cultuur en geschiedenis ervan – ontdekte deze auteur twintig jaar geleden de regio Lauragais en heeft deze sindsdien intensief verkend via diverse middelen. Zich bewust van de schaarste aan Engelstalige werken over het verleden van het gebied, nam hij zich voor de rijke geschiedenis ervan te belichten. Voortbouwend op diepgaande persoonlijke kennis en de onschatbare hulp van lokale vrienden met diepe wortels, brengt de vertelling een land tot leven dat ooit een magneet was voor zowel de machtigen als de ambitieuzen.
