AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Superb edition (signed by the artist and the publisher) numbered 27 on super-nacre Japon and illustrated with splendid color compositions by Pierre Letellier -

This magnificent work is enriched with a color suite on Nacre Japon, a color suite on Arches; a print on Nacre Japon of the title and the wood-engraved initials!

The title itself evokes a land that is both concrete and symbolic, a land rich in light, colors, vegetation, memory, and life, which in Giono's universe holds a place almost as important as the human characters -

The writer indeed constructs a representation of nature that is never limited to a simple backdrop, for the mountains, forests, fields, rivers, villages, paths, and the seasons seem to possess their own existence and exert a deep influence on individuals -
