Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First American Edition. Bright, clean & tight hardcover, erstwhile remainder (red stripe on text tail), unread, in Near Fine condition. "ONCE IN EUROPA is without a doubt John Berger's major work of fiction to date. A significant departure from the complex experimentation of his prize-winning novel G as well as from his anthropological novel about peasant life Pig Earth, this book is a series of beautifully wrought love stories set in the French Alps against the destruction, gentrification, or disappearance of village life. Through Berger's deceptively and timelessly simple style, strange, passionate, resonant romances bloom like flowers in the hard, unyielding soil of Alpine France. These linked stories add up to a representation of a whole world--intimate, profoundly familiar, and yet almost unimaginably far away from our own lives. They offer us a spellbindingly direct path to the human heart. ONCE IN EUROPA has taken John Berger five years to write, and perhaps this helps to explain the extraordinary condensed elegance of almost every sentence. It is the second work of fiction in Berger's trilogy devoted to the lives of peasants in our time."
