PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A loving portrait of rural Provence and its inhabitants by a sociologist who lived in Roussillon just after WWII. It was a different world then, a traditional village with two telephones, a weekly bus to Avignon, and a single cafe. Of more than historical interest, the book (which has been in print since its publication in 1957) is an excellent introduction to the people and character of the south of France. With Wylie's black-and-white photographs. Divided into four sections; adult problems and worries; adult pleasures; and growing old.
