Excerpt from The Life of a Simple Man
"What an absorbing book! It kept me up half the night. Do you know of any book like 'The Life of a Simple Man'?" said an officer friend, who had returned from abroad, blase and cynical after his surfeit of war. His question set me mentally rehearsing the list of our authors who have dealt with English peasant and labouring life. I could only think of two books at all comparable to Guillaumin's work, viz., George Bourne's "Memoirs of a Surrey Labourer" and W.H. Hudson's "A Shepherd's Life." Each of these, in its individual way, is beyond criticism; but for the completeness and finality of the whole picture of a peasant farmer's life Guillaumin's book is their superior. Moreover, one has to note the fact that all but two or three of our writers on the subject were not born in the class they depict. Cobbett, Clare and Richard Jefferies are the conspicuous exceptions. But Cobbett, though he was, and always remained, a fierce, sincere champion of the peasant and farmer, wore many coats in his day, attorney, clerk's, soldier's, farmer's, pamphleteer's, journalist's, politician's; and his crusade against "bankers, brewers, monopolists, loan-jobbers, stock-jobbers, Jews and tax-eaters of every kind" took him far afield. Clare, the victim of weak heredity and privation in youth, had too brief and ill-starred a career to unfold all he knew of agricultural life, and, moreover, as Edward Thomas has put it, "Clare was a peasant poet, because he had behind him no tradition of peasant literature, but had to do what he could with the current forms of polite literature."

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a deeply personal and unflinchingly honest portrait of peasant life in rural France in the early to mid-19th century, as seen through the eyes of a young boy named Tiennon. The author, a peasant himself, weaves together Tiennon's vivid memories of childhood, including his experiences as a shepherd, his encounters with the natural world, and the anxieties and hardships of rural poverty, to create a compelling and moving narrative of daily life in a time of great social change. The book delves into the complex realities of rural society, including the tensions between the peasantry and the aristocracy, the struggles of the poor against a backdrop of economic hardship, and the harsh realities of rural work. Tiennon's experiences offer a powerful reflection of the resilience and adaptability of the peasant class, while also highlighting the enduring struggles for a more equitable and just world. This book is a testament to the enduring power of personal stories and the importance of understanding the lives of ordinary people.
