Description
A fugitive Italian hussar, Angelo Pardi, arrives in Provence under disguise after a duel forces him to flee his native Piedmont. As he moves through sunlit roads and uneasy towns, he is drawn into the orbit of an eccentric marquise and her enigmatic household, where romance, intrigue, and political unrest simmer beneath the surface of everyday life. Set against the early nineteenth century’s conspiracies and upheavals, the story follows Angelo as he navigates shifting loyalties while confronting the human cost of a spreading crisis. With Jean Giono’s signature lyrical eye for the landscape and a psychological depth that elevates the genre, *Angelo* blends adventure and tenderness into a tense, atmospheric portrait of survival, desire, and moral choice.
