The Man Who Planted Trees - Jean Giono

Discover Bookster, the first single-page book that will make you rediscover the great classics of literature! Who is Elzéard Bouffier, a peaceful and persevering shepherd from Haute-Provence who has aroused so much admiration around the world? It was Jean Giono who, in 1953, was the first to take up his pen to tell the story of this man who spent his life “planting trees”. We owe it to him to have brought back to life a desolate and desert region located between the Alps and Provence. Patiently, every day, he would have recreated a forest... but it seems that Elzéard Bouffier never existed and that he is a little in each of us. Giono himself would have confessed it. A bookster was needed to pay homage to this myth intended to make us “love planting trees”.
