But beginning with lallégorie herds demblée gives an impressionist dimension that sometimes turns to fog.
Lévocation the status of women, left alone at the back with the old and children, is perhaps the most interesting point of this book. But, in my opinion, this rural dimension is treated with too heavy lyricism.
The warrior dimension is addressed in contrast with a lack of power that does not take the shock at the literature trenches dun dun or Dorgelès Chevallier. Even the pacifist creed of this novel shortness of breath and verve.
In short this reading my overall disappointed.
"The Great Herd" probably seduce fans of Giono.
But lovers of literature on 14-18 may go their way, as it comes to my work dune secondary sense in which Giono has not been able to put forward his past fighter.
