«Il capolavoro di Giono, il romanzo che riportato alla ribalta uno dei grandi narratori del Novecento, uno dei più importanti scrittori di questo secolo.»
Carlo Bo

Francia, 1831. In una Provenza assolata, attraversata dal colera, segnata ovunque dai miasmi della morte, un giovane ufficiale degli ussari fuggito dal Piemonte dopo aver ucciso una spia austriaca trova lo sfondo ideale per le sue imprese. Angelo Pardi è un uomo di principi e di spirito, è un uomo che per onore o per curiosità è disposto a rischiare la vita. E così, mentre fugge sui tetti di una cittadina inseguito dalla folla che urla all'untore, incontra una giovane donna, molto bella e molto bisognosa d'aiuto, e si mette al suo servizio. Insieme attraversano l'intero Midi francese, tra duelli, imboscate, rischi di ogni genere e sussulti del cuore, per raggiungere la salvezza. Una storia epica e avvincente, che ci restituisce il clima, le cadenze, i contenuti del grande romanzo d'avventura, da Stendhal a Dumas a Melville.

Ho acquistato il libro dopo aver visto ed apprezzato l'omonimo film. Diversamente da quanto si dice solitamente, ho preferito la trasposizione. Il libro ha dei ritmi un po' lenti.
