Au cours d'une de ses promenades en Haute-Provence, Jean Giono a un jour rencontré un personnage extraordinaire, un berger solitaire et paisible qui plantait des arbres, des milliers d'arbres. Au fil des ans, le vieil homme a réalisé son rêve: la lande aride et désolée est devenue une terre pleine de vie...Une histoire simple et généreuse, un portrait émouvant et un hymne à la nature.

Selon A. Rinaldi, l'auteure fait preuve d'une "sentimentalité baignant dans le grotesque" et "pastiche sa propre grandiloquence émiettée jusqu'au délire". Pour M. Braudeau, dans ce "nouvel opuscule sur ses amours, l'amour", M. Duras fait preuve d'un "sens du paradoxe provocant" et propose des "trouvailles" dont la "fausse simplicité précieuse" plaît à certains lecteurs. Duras, "magicienne pythonisse"? La critique québécoise féminine est favorable, sensible au "blues" de Duras
In the early 1970s Harold Pinter joined forces with director Joseph Losey and Proust scholar Barbara Bray to develop a screenplay of Proust's masterpiece, Remembrance of Things Past. Pinter took more than a year to conceive and write the screenplay and called the experience "the best working year of my life." Although never produced, Harold Pinter's The Proust Screenplay is considered one of the greatest adaptations for the cinema ever written.With fidelity to Proust's text, the screenplay is an extraordinary re-creation by one of the leading playwrights of our time. It is, in its way, a unique collaboration between two extraordinary writers united across more than half a century and two different cultures by a special concern for time and memory.
