Mistral Frederi Book order

Frédéric Mistral dedicated himself entirely to writing poetry in Provençal, a passion ignited during his school years. His ambition was to establish neo-Provençal as a literary language adhering to fixed standards of purity. This endeavor led him to spend many years compiling a comprehensive dictionary of the Provençal language, which served as a foundation for the literary society he co-founded. Mistral's work is both epic and lyrical, deeply rooted in Provence, influencing not only his language but also the content and emotional resonance of his poetry. Provence itself emerges as the central hero in all his verses, celebrating its unique language, culture, and landscape.
