Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Los cuentos constituyen un retrato conmovedor y nostálgico de la vida rural en la Provenza, al tiempo que tocan los aspectos más íntimos y universales del alma humana: la amistad forjada en la guerra, la conexión con la tierra o el descubrimiento, en la vejez, de la fragilidad de la vida. ( ) Jean Giono is often discovered through film (Horseman on the Roof) or singularly through 'the man who planted trees'. Read on would be my advice. Of the limited translations available;reading the Solitude of Compassion, Joy of Man's Desiring and Second Harvest would leave you in no doubt as to the his remarkable talent. Where Zola is brutal and Tolstoy reforming of the pastoral, then Giono is uplifting and poetic. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

The Solitude of Compassion, a collection of short stories never before available in English, won popular acclaim when it was originally published in France in 1932. It tells of small-town life in Provence, drawing on a whole village of fictional characters, often warm and decent, at times immoral and coarse. Giono writes of a friendship forged in a battlefield trench in the midst of World War I; an old man’s discovery of the song of the world; and, in the title story, the not-unrelated feelings of compassion and pity. In these twenty stories, Giono reveals his marvelous storytelling through his vivid images and lyrical prose, whether he is conveying the delicate scents of lavender and pine trees or the smells of damp earth and fresh blood.
