内容简介

"Giono has created his own private terrestrial domain, a mythical domain . . . It is a region over which the stars and planets course with throbbing pulsations. It is a land in which things happen to men as aeons ago they happened to the gods . . ."-Henry Miller In The Serpent of Stars , the narrator encounters a potter's family, whose way of life is slowly revealed to us. The novel culminates in a large gathering where a Shepherd's Play-a creation myth including in its cast The River, The Man, and The Mountain-is enacted. This novel leaves the reader believing in the animals, the terrain of which they are part, in the people who tend to them in life.
