In An Italian Journey, Jean Giono describes his journey to the land of his father's people. A reluctant traveler (he rarely left Provence), Giono discovers a strange beauty not only in the palazzi and canals of Venice but also in wistful waiters, suspicious hairdressers, pugnacious men of God, recalcitrant coffeemakers, umbrellas, and field machinery. In Giono's world a stamp collectors' market can appear to verge on revolution and inept municipal musicians suddenly offer Mozartian joys.

Jean Giono (1895- 1970) lived most of his life in Provence. He is the author of more than thirty books, including Blue Boy, The Man Who Planted Trees, and The Horseman on the Roof. John Cumming is a writer, translator, and critic living in France.
