Publisher's Synopsis

This book is an English translation of Frederic Mistral's ""Mireio"" from the original Provencal language. The original version of the book was crowned by the French Academy in 1867. The story follows the love affair between a young woman named Mireio and a handsome shepherd named Vincent. The two come from different social classes, and their love is met with obstacles and opposition from Mireio's family. The book is a classic example of Proven�����al literature and is known for its lyrical and romantic language. This English version is a faithful translation of the original work, allowing readers who do not speak Provencal to experience Mistral's beautiful prose.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
