The story of Les contes facétieux du cadavre (The Facetious Tales of the Corpse) is divided into twenty-four episodes which go along with Dechö-sangpo’s efforts to bring the corpse named Ngödrup-chän to his spiritual master. Wishing to return to his cemetery, the corpse knows that if he makes the young man talk he can regain his freedom, and does not cease to tease him with his fascinating stories. Dechö-sangpo, who cannot resist the temptation to comment on each of the stories, must refind Ngögrup-chän twenty-four more times. The public will find this text, translated for the first time, a charming introduction to traditional Tibetan culture.
