Editions Albiana Editions.


WINDS OF THE LAPSE OF MEMORY

of Pierre SOAVI

As soon as it knew to go, Pierre Soavi became shepherd on the heights of the village of Feliceto. He knew the misery and the insulation of a community solidified within the framework of a feudal company which had hardly changed since Antiquity. But time transformed the roughness of these extreme summers and these terrible winters into a kind of golden age and terrestrial paradise. The major song of the Corsican soil runs through the evocation of its childhood in Balagne of the Thirties. The love of the native ground transfigures these faithful pages and confers to them, by the accuracy of tone, the universal resonance of modest wise of the human condition.
