Publisher's Synopsis
When The Mountain Fell is a novel written by Swiss author C. F. Ramuz. The story is set in a small village in the Swiss Alps, where the residents are suddenly faced with a catastrophic event - a massive rockslide that destroys their village and kills many of their fellow villagers. The novel follows the lives of the survivors as they try to rebuild their lives amidst the devastation and loss. The main character, Jean-Louis, is a young man who is deeply affected by the tragedy and struggles to come to terms with the loss of his family and friends. As he tries to rebuild his life, he is forced to confront the harsh realities of life in the mountains and the fragility of human existence. The novel is a powerful exploration of the human condition in the face of tragedy and loss, and it offers a poignant and moving portrait of a community struggling to survive in the aftermath of a disaster.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
