Condition: UNSPECIFIED. Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo, 23 cm, 52 pp, wood-engravings by Michael McCurdy. From the blurb - "In his wonderful story of Elzeard Bouffier, an imaginary yet wholly believable shepherd, Jean Giono perhaps hoped to inspire a reafforestation programme that would renew the whole earth. The story - both parable and manual - opposes the tree-planter, the earth-husband, to the makers of war. At the same time it shows us all that is best in man's relationship with nature, and with his fellow man. For Giono, nature is a living force in which man can rediscover the depth and harmony he has lost in urban life. Michael McCurdy's beautiful woodcuts, which accompany the text, will help establish this book as a minor classicJean Giono (1895-1971) is among the most distinguished of French writers. He wrote more than thirty novels, as well as many short stories, plays, poetry, essays and film scripts. Many of his books have been translated into English. Michael McCurdy is one of America's outstanding wood engravers and a noted book designer". With an Afterword by Norma L. Goodrich. Very Good.
