The Wind and the Source: In the Shadow of Mont Ventoux

Meer over het boek

Exploring the complex relationship between landscape and creativity, this work delves into the significance of Mont Ventoux in literature, philosophy, and art. Weiss examines why certain authors are drawn to specific landscapes and the emotional and imaginative responses they evoke. Rather than focusing on the picturesque aspects of Provence, the book investigates the interplay between desire and landscape, revealing how Mont Ventoux serves as both a source of inspiration and a mythic symbol. It transforms an aesthetic inquiry into a profound metaphysical exploration.
