Description

It depicts small-town life in Provence, featuring a diverse cast of fictional characters who are often warm and decent, but sometimes immoral and coarse. Giono writes about a friendship formed in a World War I battlefield trench, an old man's discovery of the world's song, and in the title story, the intertwined feelings of compassion and pity. In these twenty stories, Giono's vivid imagery and lyrical prose showcase his remarkable storytelling, whether he describes the delicate scents of lavender and pine trees or the smells of damp earth and fresh blood.
