About the Author
Jean Giono wrote more than 30 novels as well as many volumes of short stories, plays, poetry, essays, and film scripts. Imprisoned at the beginning of World War II for his pacifist views, he was wrongly imprisoned again for collaboration at the war’s end. The author of the play The Horseman on the Roof and the much-acclaimed The Man Who Planted Trees, he is now firmly established as among the most distinguished of French writers.
Review
'Giono gives us a world he lives in, a world of dream, passion and reality.' - Henry Miller 'Violent but beautiful... In the erotic wrestling matches and in Marceau's death on the frozen mountain, Jean Giono recalls D.H. Lawrence, and the explosive gusto of his language marks him as a novelist of great originality.' - SPECTATOR 'It has a timeless fairytale quality... The writing is zestful and broadly humorous, the philosophy that of a French D.H. Lawrence.' - SUNDAY TIMES
