Feu, par Rezvani, Stock
€6.00
Published in 1977 by Stock, Fire is one of Serge Rezvani's most significant novels.
A devastating wildfire sweeps through the Maures hills before retreating toward the Mediterranean coast. Through this disaster, Rezvani reveals a Provence transformed by development, neglected landscapes and increasing pressure on the natural environment.
Part novel, part social observation and part ecological reflection, Fire now appears strikingly prophetic in its treatment of environmental issues that have become central concerns of our time.

About the author
Serge Rezvani (1928-2018) was a novelist, painter, playwright, screenwriter and songwriter. Under the name Cyrus Bassiak, he wrote several famous songs, including "Le Tourbillon", made famous by Jeanne Moreau in François Truffaut's film Jules et Jim.
About the book
Long before environmental concerns became mainstream, Rezvani used the image of wildfire to explore the consequences of urban expansion, tourism and the transformation of Mediterranean landscapes.
Why this book is unusual
More than a novel, the book is a reflection on humanity's relationship with nature and the changing face of Provence.
Why this book remains relevant today
Wildfires, environmental degradation and pressure on natural landscapes have become major issues throughout southern Europe, giving this novel remarkable contemporary relevance.
