Sinopsis

Two brothers, Marceau and Ange Jason are members of a family renowned and respected for its brutality and bound together with ties stronger than than those of ordinary brotherly love. Yet this affection turns to hatred after Marceau kills a wild horse with a single blow at a country fair and becomes the local wrestling champion. As his strength increases and his fame spreads, the younger sibling's jealously causes this bond to snap. The end, when it comes, is a violent - and deadly - confrontation.

Acerca del autor

JEAN GIONO (1895-1971) was born in the small Provencal town of Manosque where he also lived and died. Giono's fictional Provence is an almost mythological place of harsh beauty and unforgiving people, a world away from the pastis, plane trees and boules evoked by his great friend Marcel Pagnol. Giono wrote more than thirty novels as well as many volumes of short stories, plays, poetry, essays as well as film scripts. Imprisoned at the beginning of WWII for his pacifist views, he was wrongly imprisoned again for collaboration at the war's end. After a period of neglect he is again firmly established amongst the most distinguished of French writers.
