The Verticales of St. Emilion | Pierre-Jean Le Roy

PIERRE-JEAN LE ROYAn exercise in style, a fantasy, a tribute... and Saint-Émilion. Landscapes, old and noble stones, and wine. The author, a graduate in Classical Literature, is a traveler on two wheels, a virtuoso of words: mind and body. Some may find the form a bit severe. Why write in verse when there is prose? Why, indeed, keep it simple when you can make it complex? The author could have fallen asleep on the soft pillow of a well-deserved retirement, rather than becoming a winemaker, but why not live his dreams? There remains the acrostic... but how can one love only the plain when there is the mountain? In the end, is it an effort for the author? Hardly! For the reader? Perhaps! Saint-Émilion? It's worth it.ED: AQUITAINE FILE, 16 x 24 cm, 75 pages, paperback
