Synopsis "Un rey sin Diversion (in Spanish)"

Set in Triéves, France, during the winter of 1843, this novel tells the story of Langlois, a dark and entrancing character. As a small town remains buried under snow, a series of mysterious events occurs: a girl disappears, a young man is attacked, and a pig is maimed. The frightened villagers ask the police for help, and they arrive in the village led by the enigmatic Langlois, a man who is soon revealed as being capable of carrying out the most monstrous and cruel acts—as well as the most compassionate. Ambientada en Trièves, Francia, durante el invierno de 1843, esta novela narra la historia de Langlois, un personaje oscuro y fascinante. Mientras un pequeño pueblo permanece sepultado bajo la nieve, se produce una serie de eventos misteriosos: una muchacha desaparece, un joven es atacado y un cerdo es mutilado. Los lugareños atemorizados le piden ayuda a la policía, y éstos llegan al pueblo capitaneados por el enigmático Langlois, un hombre que pronto se revela capaz de llevar a cabo los actos más monstruosos y crueles—y también los más compasivos.

Jean Giono (Manosque, 1895–1970) was a prominent French writer whose work is characterized by a deep love for nature and a focus on the rural life of Provence. A self-taught and convinced pacifist after his experience in World War I, Giono developed a lyrical and humanist narrative that made him a central figure in 20th century French literature

Among his most recognized works are Hill (1929), Return to Love (1930), A King Without Diversion (1947), The Horseman on the Roof (1951), and The Man Who Planted Trees (1953). His novel Hill received the Brentano Award in 1929, and Return to Love won the Northcliffe Prize in 1930. In 1954, he was elected a member of the Goncourt Academy, and in 1953 he received the Prince Pierre of Monaco Literary Prize for his entire body of work
