Description

Deep in Provence, four stone houses stand on a hillside, surrounded by a patchwork of fields and a mass of green that threatens to overwhelm the village. The animal world is a force to be reckoned with, from a miming cat to a malevolent boar, each displaying its own unique personality. But it's not just the natural world that's at play - the villagers are locked in a struggle for survival, as the very elements themselves come into conflict. As the village fountain suddenly stops running, the balance of power shifts and the humans are forced to confront the forces of nature. The air is filled with tension, and the boundaries between humans and the natural world begin to blur. This is a story of survival, of the delicate balance between humans and the world around them. Translated by Paul Eprile, Jean Giono's first novel, Hill, is a powerful and evocative tale that explores the complexities of human nature and our place in the world.
