Winner of the Global Humanities Translation PrizeA classic of modern Provenal literature, Jus dArbauds 1926 masterpiece The Beast of Vacars (also known as The Beast of Vaccars) is a haunting parable. Set during the fifteenth century, the tale is narrated by a solitary bull herderknown as a gardianwho stumbles upon a starving creature that is half man, half goat. Terrified, the gardian is nonetheless drawn to the eloquent Beast, a dying demigod who laments the loss of his glorious past even as he wields power over the animals around him. Torn between pity and fear, unable to understand his experiences and afraid he will be condemned for heresy, the gardian records his encounters in a journal, hoping that one day readers will make sense of what he cannot.Set in the vast, lonely landscape of the Camargue delta, where the Rhne meets the Mediterranean, The Beast seamlessly melds fantasy with naturalistic detail about the regions flora and fauna. Three additional storiesThe Caraco, Pire Guilhems Remorse, and The Longlineexplore the lives of twentiethcentury gardians in the region. Each man succumbs to fears and social pressure, tragically losing what he most loves.
