1959 1st Edition "THE STRAW MAN" by Jean Giono

Description: Up for sale is a 1959 American 1st Edition/1st Printing copy of "THE STRAW MAN" by Jean Giono. The crazy happiness is the one felt by Angelo Pardi, the hero of the Hussar on the roof, to make the Italian revolution in 1848. Angelo walks through the revolution as he once walked through the cholera of Provence. The war - that war, which is both civil war and war with Austria - gives him the most delicious feelings. Friendship takes on something exalted and admirable, well suited to transport the noblest soul of Piedmont. Street fights or confused battles although "orderly", have nothing to be ashamed of, because it is the love of the homeland that animates them, as well as a prodigious taste for life. Very brief loves, long walks or horsebacks, countless encounters with a host of characters of extraordinary truth, are the events of this novel of Tolstoyan dimensions.
