Parmi les nombreux villages karen de Thaïlande, Ban Ko Cho Mae fait figure d'exception. Isolé dans la jungle thaïlandaise, à un kilomètre de la frontière birmane, ses mille cinq cents habitants pratiquent un culte unique en Thaïlande, syncrétisme entre le bouddhisme, l'animisme, et l'hindouisme. A sa tête, un moine ascétique entouré de disciples perpétue les rites de dévotion de défenses d'éléphant sacrées. Pourquoi les missionnaires baptistes américains n'ont-ils pas eu raison de ces irréductibles Karen ? Pour quelle raison le sacrifice des animaux, pratiqué dans d'autres villages karen, est ici proscrit ? Grâce à son ami Pawa, l'auteur saisit le coeur d'une culture riche et complexe et invite le lecteur à s'y immerger. Sous forme de dialogues vécus et de paragraphes documentés, l'ouvrage relate la vie de cette société fascinante sur deux décennies (2001-2020).
