Giono,Jean A re-greening parable in a similar sort of vein to Giono's famous novella "The man who planted trees", this is the story of how the last remaining inhabitant of a dying hamlet in difficult hill country manages to reverse the trend of rural depopulation. A bit Hardyesque, with a tendency to tell the story indirectly through conversations between peripheral rustic characters, but full of fresh air and great descriptions of the wide-open spaces of Provence. A good book to read when you're housebound, maybe! I love the Livre de Poche edition of 1971. I love the descriptions of the wind and the barren plains, the rivers flowing or freezing. The weather determines the lives of the characters, their moods and behaviours. They behave like the animals around them, their instincts come to the surface and overwhelm them. The story is full of sadness too. I like my copy too. There is a dedication in blue ink at the front, in French, and it sums it all up: ‘A toi mon ami et frère En esperance Puisses trouver dans le Livre, La meme joie que j'ai eprouve En le lisant Par ces hommes et femmes, ce ble, cette nature si profondement enracines en terre, j'ai ressenti la simplicite du bonheur. Le bonheur si proche semblant inaccessible Michel’ Aubignane, petit village près de Manosque, se meurt. Seuls trois fidèles occupent encore ce nid de spectres. Mais l'hiver finit par chasser le vieux forgeron, et la veuve du puisatier disparaît au printemps, avec la promesse qu'elle avait faite à Panturle de lui trouver une femme. Au village, maintenant, ne reste plus que ce chasseur qui devient peu à peu fou de solitude. Une femme viendra, par des chemins presque surnaturels. Et pour elle, Panturle rouvrira la terre jadis féconde, l'ensemencera de blé. Le blé du pain de l'amour, qui annonce au village de nouveaux enfants. Regain ou l'éclatante première manière de Giono : mystique, solaire, animale. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
