Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Madeleine: A Tale of Auvergne In one of the wildest districts of Auvergne there exists a narrow and secluded valley, which seems shut out on every side from the surrounding world by a barrier of high and rugged hills. On one of the southern eminences arises a small village called Mont-Saint-Jean, a name which in the course of time has been extended to the whole valley. Notwithstanding the wild and solitary loveliness of this quiet spot, its existence is scarcely known beyond the mountainous region in which it lies buried, and the travelling artist passes it by, unconscious of the unexplored beauties lie is leaving behind him. The village itself is small and of little importance. Its low, straggling cottages climb up the brow of the Mont-Saint-Jean; on a high, projecting peak stands the rude and massive little church; and near it nestles, as though seeking its shelter, a low and still ruder building, known by the dignified name of the "Presbytery." In front of the church there extends an open, uneven space, called the "Place," in the centre of which arises, according to the general custom, a large stone cross. From the steps of this cross the eye of the beholder commands a view of the valley, and of a considerable portion of the surrounding country.
