Derborence: When the Mountain Fell

The story of a devastating alpine landslide, grieving villagers haunted by a ghost of the unsurvivable incident, and one woman determined to hold onto hope. Based on the famous novel by Charles Ferdinand Ramuz—recognized as one of the great novelists of the Alps and "the sensation of the Left Bank" (New York Times)—this artful depiction of tragedy, mountain landscapes, and endearing character studies brings new life to a modernist classic. Illustrator Fabian Menor’s emotionally astute, expressionistic artwork captures the spirit and poetry of Ramuz’s original, and of the dramatic environment in which his tale unfurls.
