Cassis: Calendal canto III

By Frédéric Mistral

Calendal is trekking across the heart of Provence. But how does one man take on a guy like Count S v ran-a warlord backed by a literal pack of bandits? He finds the Count deep in the Est ron Gorge, mid-hunt, surrounded by his hired muscle and his "fast-living" entourage. They meet. They talk. And to get under S v ran's skin-to really humiliate him-Calendal decides to lay it all out. He tells his story: his life, his risks, and his obsession. He starts with home: the port of Cassis, the grit of the fishermen, the silver rush of the anchovy run, and the mystery of the sea.Fr d ric Mistral, in writing Calendal (1867), this epic journey through Provence, sought to erect a monument to the Occitan language and Proven al identity, blending the marvelous with the ruggedness of the land. This new edition is based on Fr d ric Mistral's original Proven al text and Alain Viau's 2018 verse translation into French, incorporating Fr d ric Mistral's original notes at the end of the volume.
