«Jofroi» is the work of Marcel Pagnol, published by Editions de Fallois in paperback (155 pages, in French).
In rural Provence, Jofroi, an elderly peasant, refuses to sell his trees and defends them as living beings with the right to die a natural death. Faced with economic pressures and the priest's arguments, he holds his convictions with tenderness and stubbornness. Pagnol portrays attachment to the land and resistance to a changing world.
Published in March 1990 by Editions de Fallois in the Fortunio collection (no. 18).
For readers with a level of French who want to discover Provence and Marcel Pagnol's rural narrative.
