The serpent of stars by 6430769|Jean Giono book cover

📘 The serpent of stars
 by Jean Giono

"The Serpent of Stars (Le Serpent d'etoiles, 1933; reprinted 1999 Grasset) takes place in rural southern France in the early part of the twentieth century. The novel's elusive narrative thread ties landscape to character to a greater expanse just beyond our grasp. The narrator encounters the shepherding community and, glimpse by glimpse, their way of life is revealed to us. The novel culminates in a large shepherds' gathering where an improvised Shepherd's Play - a kind of creation myth that includes in its cast The River, The Sea, The Man , and The Mountain - is enacted. The work's proto-environmental world view as well as its hybrid form - part play, part novel - makes The Serpent of Stars contemporary. W.S. Merwin's "Green Fields" begins, "By this part of the century few are left who believe / in the animals for they are not there in the carved parts / of them served on plates and the pleas from slatted trucks ." This novel leaves the reader believing not only in the animals, but in the terrain they are part of, the people who tend them, and the life all these elements together compose."--BOOK JACKET.
