"The Provencal identity is clearly visible in a long literary tradition. Such writers as Frederic Mistral, Alphonse Daudet, Henri Bosco, Marcel Pagnol and Jean Giono have drawn inspiration from the region and its language, creating a unique body of literature with two distinct faces. On one the reader sees humor and affability; on the other, pervasive mystery and awareness of tragedy.". "The Literature of Provence offers a graceful introduction to the novelists, poets and playwrights of this beautiful and distinctive region, and traces cultural and linguistic links from the medieval troubadours to the novelists of today."--BOOK JACKET.
