«Mireya» is the narrative poem by Frédéric Mistral, published by Cátedra Ediciones in paperback (267 pages, in Spanish).
The poem narrates the love between Mireya, a young Provençal woman, and Vincent, a humble basket-maker. Mistral sets the story in rural nineteenth-century Provence and, through that relationship, presents a conflict of love and society, while championing the Provençal language and the region's popular traditions.
Edited and translated by Pilar Blanco, with an introductory study, in the Letras Universales collection (no. 266). Version of the Provençal original Mirèio.
Aimed at readers interested in nineteenth-century narrative poetry, classic European literature and Provençal culture.
Joseph Étienne Frédéric Mistral was an Occitan writer and lexicographer of the Provençal form of the language. He received the 1904 Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of the fresh originality and true inspiration of his poetic production, which faithfully reflects the natural scenery and native spirit of his people, and, in addition, his significant work as a Provençal philologist". Mistral was a founding member of the Félibrige and member of the Académie de Marseille.
