Calendal is trekking across the heart of Provence. But how does one man take on a guy like Count Sévéran—a warlord backed by a literal pack of bandits? He finds the Count deep in the Estéron Gorge, mid-hunt, surrounded by his hired muscle and his "fast-living" entourage. They meet. They talk. And to get under Sévéran’s skin—to really humiliate him—Calendal decides to lay it all out. He tells his story: his life, his risks, and his obsession. He starts with home: the port of Cassis, the grit of the fishermen, the silver rush of the anchovy run, and the mystery of the sea.Frédéric Mistral, in writing Calendal (1867), this epic journey through Provence, sought to erect a monument to the Occitan language and Provençal identity, blending the marvelous with the ruggedness of the land. This new edition is based on Frédéric Mistral's original Provençal text and Alain Viau's 2018 verse translation into French, incorporating Frédéric Mistral's original notes at the end of the volume.
