This book with
its texts and illustrations is a show of wonderment and presents
itself as a song of love. It first speaks of the simple wonder
felt when one is faced with all the beauty of this land of Lebanon
and of this village clinging to a wooded mountainside from which
one perceives the distant sea. It
is with deep emotion that we discover the pathways and the sinuous
flights of steps going up to the village square basking in the
sun, as one may well imagine anywhere around the Mediterranean.
But we also find the gushing springs which with their bubbling
murmur discreetly but tirelessly spread freshness and life. Nature
is sweetly welcoming; but the men also take part in this joyful
simplicity.
