The Nobel Prize winning Provencal poet shares memories, anecdotes, stories, folksongs, and poetry from his past and describes rural life in the south of France
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Written in the relaxed conversational style of an elderly gentlemen reminiscing about old days, the Memoirs describe the circumstances of mistral's childhood and early manhood--the Provencal landscapes, the seasonal life of the farm, the religious observances and seasonal festivities, many clearly of pagan origin. Memoirs, which is not so much an autobiography as a recollection of the life of ordinary country people in his early years, filled with delightful anecdotes, tales, folksongs, and poetry.
George Wickes is a professor in the department of English at the University of Oregon in Eugene.
