| It is the first work published by this literary scholar who is of our admirable Provence, and whose brother Pierre Girieud, a warm and subtle painter, has for a long time known the high esteem he deserves. These are learned prose. They are nuanced and deep, they touch the most tender emotions and conceal the pure wisdom ....
In this difficult art of storytelling, I believe that Maxime Girieud is a master, with this noble book; We must re-read, at length, pages like "The Immortal Flower" and "The History of the Man who refused Paradise". The secret bitterness of "To be alone" is dear to us., "The house of a good man" joins this melancholy.
I will praise without reservation the harmony of these tales, their flexible and strong language, their love of life and the serene clarity that radiates them.
Pierre Girieud highlights the texts, with all the talent we know him. And what an impeccable presentation. |
