Two Riders of the Storm (Peter Owen Modern Classics)

Set in the remote High Hill country of Provence, the lives of the inhabitants are molded along fiercely passionate lines. Two brothers are members of a family renowned for its brutality and strong ties. Yet this affection turns to hatred after Marceau kills a wild horse and becomes a wrestling champion. As his strength increases and his fame spreads, Ange Jason's jealousy causes this bond to snap. The end, when it comes, is a violent and deadly confrontation. Henry Miller called Giono the French Faulkner"".
