«Pastorale» is Nevil Shute's novel of love and war, published in Danish in 1986.
The narrative follows a young RAF pilot during the Second World War and his relationship with a woman, in a context in which danger and distance mark every encounter. Between missions and the routine of the air base, the novel sets military duty against the intensity of a love born in the midst of conflict.
The cover of this edition shows an illustration of a pilot embracing a woman, with an aeroplane and a control tower in the background.
For those interested in love stories with a wartime background and for readers who know Nevil Shute from On the Beach.
Nevil Shute Norway was an English novelist and aeronautical engineer who spent his later years in Australia. He used his full name in his engineering career and Nevil Shute as his pen name to protect his engineering career from inferences by his employers (Vickers) or from fellow engineers that he was "not a serious person" or from potentially adverse publicity in connection with his novels, which included On the Beach and A Town Like Alice.
