Set in a small village in the French Alps, this book relates the stories of sceptical, hard-working men and fiercely independent women.
Táto trilógia sleduje cestu európskeho roľníka z hôr do veľkomesta, mapuje premeny jeho života a kultúry v priebehu modernizácie. Skladá sa z troch prozaických diel, ktoré zachytávajú hlboké spoločenské a ekonomické zmeny. Príbehy sa ponárajú do identity, vy korenenia a hľadania koreňov v meniacom sa svete. Ide o pôsobivé literárne zobrazenie straty tradícií a adaptácie na novú realitu.

In the mythic city of Troy, amidst the shanty-towns, factories, opulent hotels, fading heritages and steadfast dreams, the children and grandchildren of rural peasants pursue meagre livings as best they can. And two young lovers embark upon a passionate journey of love and survival.
