«El hombre que plantaba árboles» is the tale by French writer Jean Giono, published by José J. de Olañeta in paperback (74 pages, in Spanish).
In 1913, the narrator meets Elzéard Bouffier, a solitary shepherd who plants trees, one after another, in a barren region of Provence. Decades later, that quiet, selfless work has turned the wasteland into a forest full of life. The story is a tribute to perseverance and to the human capacity to regenerate nature.
The original French tale, L'homme qui plantait des arbres, appeared in 1953; this edition belongs to the Torre de Viento collection.
For readers of literary fiction and classics who value stories about nature and ecology.
Jean Giono was a French writer who wrote works of fiction mostly set in the Provence region of France.
