Provence, From Minstrels to the Machine

Provence, From Minstrels to the Machine

by Ford Madox Ford

  • TRAVEL NARRATIVE
  • 2009
  • PAPER
  • 359 PAGES

Blending fiction, history, memoir and travel, this unclassifiable book charmingly evokes Ford and his lover Biala's ramshackle, bohemian life in their villa on the Mediterranean coast. From social encounters with Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Pablo Picasso, and Henri Matisse to the delights of growing vegetables, this spontaneous and entertaining book is a love letter to the Provence.  (FRN110, $28.95)
