The Great Valley

Publisher Le Cherche Midi
Why have we come to accept the desecration of our world? This novel explore the emergence of modernity and the ravages it has inflicted.

Life in the great valley is measured by the seasons. In the warm months, shepherds move their flocks to the high pastures, savoring pastoral delights: matchless mountain panoramas of snow-capped peaks and emerald vales. But one day, Big Batavia arrives from parts north, sowing worry: the village of Cent-Maisons is industrializing, nature is transforming. Do all these upheavals herald, as Arno fears, an end to songs and starry nights?
Someone–even if only one man–must fight to save the Valley's soul. What follows is a desperate flight through snowbound summits in hopes of a better world.
