FR Jean Giono
Jean Giono, né le 30 mars 1895 à Manosque et mort le 9 octobre 1970 dans la même ville, est un écrivain français. Un grand nombre de ses ouvrages ont pour cadre le monde paysan provençal.
Inspirée par son imagination et ses visions de la Grèce antique, son œuvre romanesque dépeint la condition de l'homme dans le monde, face aux questions morales et métaphysiques et possède une portée universelle.

Il devint l'ami de Lucien Jacques, d'André Gide et de Jean Guéhenno, des peintres Georges Gimel et Serge Fiorio, ce dernier étant son cousin issu de germain. Il resta néanmoins en marge de tous les courants de littérature de son temps.

Jean Giono s'intéresse aussi au cinéma. Il écrit le scénario, les dialogues, met en scène le film Crésus avec Fernandel. En 1963, dans la froideur de l'Aubrac, Giono supervise le tournage de l'adaptation de son roman "Un roi sans divertissement", réalisé par François Leterrier.
D'autres réalisateurs ont adapté des œuvres de Giono, de son vivant ou après sa mort, et ont tourné : Les Grands Chemins (Christian Marquand, 1963), Deux cavaliers de l'orage (Gérard Vergez, 1983), Le Hussard sur le toit (Jean-Paul Rappeneau, 1995), Les Âmes fortes (Raoul Ruiz, 2001), Le Chant du monde (Marcel Camus, 1965) ou L'Homme qui plantait des arbres, film d'animation du québécois Frédéric Back en 1987.
