Abstract

The following is a contribution to the debate which focuses on the problematic of modernity. Therefore, it has particularly to do with the question of space’s crisis, space which, in modernity, is virulently connected with technique’s placenta. This crisis results from disappearance of the Virgilian heritage and the blindness which accompanies the division of land into smaller units. Giono’s disenchantment is connected with this problem and his polemical posture towards modernity takes root from his disillusion.
