A herbarium of medicinal plants and flowers, a notebook of quotations copied for all useful purposes, a catalogue of manufactured weapons and pruning hooks decorated like Japanese sabers, a viaticum to take with you for a funny swerve among nettles, brambles and bulldozers, Fadas (from the Occitan fadat, “touched by fairies, crazy, simpleton”) is a combat manual for the “elementals” (creatures animated by the spirit of fire, air, water or earth) and other crazy people that “we all are”.
