Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps no other of his novels better reveals Giono's perfect balance between lyricism and narrative, description and characterization, the epic and the particular, than The Horseman on the Roof. This novel, which Giono began writing in 1934 and which was published in 1951, expanded and solidified his reputation as one of Europe's most important writers. This is a novel of adventure, a roman courtois, that tells the story of Angelo, a nobleman who has been forced to leave Italy because of a duel, and is returning to his homeland by way of Provence. But that region is in the grip of a cholera epidemic, travelers are being imprisoned behind barricades, and exposure to the disease is almost certain. Angelo's escapades, adventures, and heroic self-sacrifice in this hot, hallucinatory landscape, among corpses, criminals and rioting townspeople, share this epic tale.

Book excerpt: Unlock the more straightforward side of The Horseman on the Roof with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Horseman on the Roof by Jean Giono, a semi-allegorical novel which follows the adventures of Angelo Pardi, a young Italian hussar and the titular horseman, as he travels through the South of France at a time when the region is being ravaged by a deadly outbreak of cholera. Angelo’s journey is part adventure novel, part Bildungsroman, as he is forced to draw on all his wits, skills and humanity in order to survive, but it is also a profound philosophical reflection on how humanity is plagued by moral failings. Jean Giono was a French writer and director whose writing was deeply influenced by the pacifist beliefs he adopted following his experiences of military life in the First World War.
