Long regarded as one of France's finest writers, Jean Giono (1895-1971) is best known for his classic best seller The Man Who Planted Trees. Conscription reaches into the hills as the First World War comes to a small Provencial community one blazing August. A committed pacifist, Giono produced one of the most affecting accounts of war ever written, with its horrifying scenes of war and descriptions of harsh, primitive conditions in the trenches. His fiercely realistic novel contrasts the wholesale destruction of men, land, and animals at the front with the moral disintegration of the lonely and anxious people left behind. Last published in 1969. A Peter Owen Modern Classic.
