Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Return of Pierre From a distance the tiny village of Ardun was merely a chalk-mark against the green of the countryside. The houses and shops of its single street faced each other stolidly in lines so regular that a bullet might have been fired from the comer of the first house and whizzed through the village without scarring brick or plaster. Those early villagers who had built the hamlet - (it might have been German then, so old were the houses) - seemed to have known that the sun would be forever shining on them, for all the buildings were a cheerful yellow-white. Ardun had escaped the ravages of those painters of the period who ruthlessly daubed false windows, balconies, or whatsoever pleased their wandering fancies on the walls of rural France. East and west of the village stretched the great white road which connected Verdun with Metz by way of Etian, a glaring white stripe across the green fields, guarded on both sides by rows of evenly lined poplars.
