Synopsis "El Hombre que Plantaba Árboles"

Un clásico de la literartura universal en edición ilustrada y POP UP.
«Imagino que Jean Giono habrá plantado no pocos árboles a lo largo de su vida. Sólo quien ha cavado la tierra para acomodar una raíz o la promesa de ésta podría haber escrito la singularísima narración que es El hombre que plantaba árboles, una indiscutible proeza en el arte de contar. (...) Y ésa es la conclusión: estamos esperando a Elzéard Bouffier, antes de que sea demasiado tarde para el mundo.» José Saramago

Jean Giono (Manosque, 1895–1970) was a prominent French writer whose work is characterized by a deep love for nature and a focus on the rural life of Provence. A self-taught and convinced pacifist after his experience in World War I, Giono developed a lyrical and humanist narrative that made him a central figure in 20th century French literature

Among his most recognized works are Hill (1929), Return to Love (1930), A King Without Diversion (1947), The Horseman on the Roof (1951), and The Man Who Planted Trees (1953). His novel Hill received the Brentano Award in 1929, and Return to Love won the Northcliffe Prize in 1930. In 1954, he was elected a member of the Goncourt Academy, and in 1953 he received the Prince Pierre of Monaco Literary Prize for his entire body of work
