<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>With this haunting first volume in his <i>Into Their Labours</i> trilogy, John Berger begins his chronicle of the eclipse of peasant cultures in the twentieth century. Set in a small village in the French Alps, <i>Pig Earth</i> relates the stories of skeptical, hard-working men and fiercely independent women; of calves born and pigs slaughtered; of summer haymaking and long dark winters of rest; of the message of forgiveness from a dead father to his prodigal son; and of the marvelous Lucie Cabrol, exiled to a hut high in the mountains, an inexorable part of the lives of men who have known her. Above all, this masterpiece of sensuous description and profound moral resonance is an act of reckoning that conveys the precise wealth and weight of a world we are losing.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>John Berger was born in London in 1926. He is well known for his novels and stories as well as for his works of nonfiction, including several volumes of art criticism. His first novel, <i>A Painter of Our Time</i>, was published in 1958, and since then his books have included <i>Ways of Seeing</i>, the fiction trilogy <i>Into Their Labours</i>, and the novel <i>G., </i> which won the Booker Prize in 1972.
