by JeanGiono (Author)
Two brothers, Marceau and Ange Jason are members of a family renowned and respected for its brutality and bound together with ties stronger than than those of ordinary brotherly love. Yet this affection turns to hatred after Marceau kills a wild horse with a single blow at a country fair and becomes the local wrestling champion. As his strength increases and his fame spreads, the younger sibling's jealously causes this bond to snap. The end, when it comes, is a violent - and deadly - confrontation.
