Brittany is too small to close oneself up in it. This is why many Bretons are sailors, adventurers, wandering spirits. Today we travel around the earth to get what the peninsula does not put in our cradle : world languages, a range of philosophies, scientific knowledge and artistic expressions, the spices for our food, the chips for our computers.
Our Breton identities are world mosaics. But the central and necessary part of it is our link with the people who lived here. Among them were kings, druids and saints. On this Land's End, which draws Europe towards the open sea, also rose silent conspirators, wild rebels, enchanting poets and musicians, entrepreneurs. Now it's our turn. A nation is a collective adventure.
This small book is a book of history. It puts historical documentation in perspective with geography, culture, and an international environment.
Jean Pierre Le Mat is an agricultural engineer, entrepreneur in new technologies, and historian.
