Dreamy afternoons in Provence
"Letters from my Mill" is a collection of short stories, some of them being almost poems in prose. Daudet wrote them in a mill where he spent some time in Provence, in Southern France. They are anecdotes and memories which portrait the life and character of the Provenzals. They are filled with tenderness, nostalgia, and deep humanism. They are smooth, melancholic, realistic and like an afternoon dream. They constitute a pleasant reading for an idle time. Recommended. ... Read more
