L'ecologioia di Pierre Magnan

Introduction to the Italian translation of Pierre Magnan's novel "Laure du bout du monde". The writer, best known as a crime novelist, only embraced this literary genre to get published; his true interest lays elsewhere, particularly in the depiction of the region he loved most: Haute Provence. In narrating the early years of his protagonist, Laure, he portrays an entire Provençal world, marked by hardships but still imbued with a deep "joie de vivre". The introduction concludes with a reflection on the author's style and the translating choices.
