A discussion on IG got me taking a pictures of my most beautiful books : a nice edition of Good Omens, a first edition of through the looking glass offered by my partner and the tagged book offered by a great great aunt in bilingual Provencal and French.
What are your most beautiful and or precious books? #myprecious
Mireille (Mirèlha or Mirèio), poème provençal by Frédéric Mistral, Provençal poet and Nobel Prize winner in 1904. And the only author writing in a regional language who was awarded this prize.
Mireille is a long poem in 12 cantos telling the story of the thwarted love between Mireille, from a well-off farming family, and Vincent, a poor basket-maker.
