Immerse yourself in the eccentric world of mules with "Brèves de Mules".
"Brèves de mules" is a collective and associative work made up of 95 short stories and anecdotes, funny or moving, illustrating both the joys and difficulties of working with this animal, little known to the general public. Some are very short, others several pages long, slices of life, small anecdotes, very personal feelings - in short, a patchwork of varied stories that give an idea of the mule's uniqueness, temperament and incredible qualities, and of what it means to have a relationship with this animal. Reading these stories should delight those already familiar with our hybrid, and perhaps inspire others to get closer!
The book has no author, but 67 co-authors. It features some fifty photos and as many drawings, by some twenty illustrators. With 244 well-crafted pages, its aim is to raise awareness of the mule as a hybrid animal (or mule if it's a male!), as books on the subject are rare in the French language.
The associations "La Maison du Mulet" and "HIPPOTESE" contributed financially to the production of this book, as did several members of the CALC association (Cavaliers Au Long Cours). Rémy, a member of these three associations, was the driving force behind the idea, gathering together the stories and designing the layout of the book with the indispensable help of his wife Véronique.
The book, which sells for 15 euros (plus postage where applicable), can be purchased in several ways:
You can purchase it at the boutique of the Maison du Mulet in Seyne les Alpes or by contacting this association through the HIPPOTESEassociation. You can also submit a request via email to the following address managed by Rémy: brevesdemules@outlook.fr.
