Premier tome de "La trilogie de Pan", "Colline", dans lequel "tout avait son poids de sang, de sucs, de goût, d'odeur, de son", est un brillant exemple du talent de Jean Giono. Le récit de Giono est tout emprunt d'une poésie qui lui est propre, cette poésie simple et douce, révélatrice du monde réel. Car c'est bien là le message de Jean Giono : il ne faut pas négliger la nature ! Grâce à de nombreuses et belles métaphores, l'auteur s'applique à toucher tous les publics, portant des idées parfois complexes aux yeux de chacun. L'auteur nous livre un roman baigné de soleil, de pureté et de douceur provençale.

She set down accounts of the garden, of Wordsworth's marriage, their concern for Coleridge, and the composition of Wordsworth's poetry.

Besonders berühmt wurden seine Rezitationen Thomas Manns, dessen "oberster Mund" er war.
