Long regarded as one of France's finest writers of the twentieth century, Jean Giono is best known for his ecological bestseller The Man Who Planted Trees, but this neglected classic, published in 1931, is his masterpiece. Set during the First World War, conscription comes to a rural Provençal community, and its young men leave for the trenches on the Western Front. Based on his experiences at the battle of Verdun, at which he was one of only eleven survivors from his company, Giono produced one of the most powerful and affecting accounts of war ever written. This unflinchingly realistic yet at times intensely poetic novel grimly contrasts the destruction of men, land and animals at the front with the disintegration of daily life and accepted morality back home in a remote community with its own savagery, lusts and yearnings. Giono ends his masterwork with a message of hope, reflecting his faith in the ability of the earth to renew itself, which readers of The Man Who Planted Trees will find familiar. Part of the new look Peter Owen Modern Classics range featuring a logo crafted by graphic design icon Alvin Lustig.

Slaughterhouse is the first book of its kind to explore the impact that unprecedented changes in the meatpacking industry over the last twenty-five years — particularly industry consolidation, increased line speeds, and deregulation — have had on workers, animals, and consumers. It is also the first time ever that workers have spoken publicly about what’s really taking place behind the closed doors of America’s slaughterhouses. In this new paperback edition, author Gail A. Eisnitz brings the story up to date since the book’s original publication. She describes the ongoing efforts by the Humane Farming Association to improve conditions in the meatpacking industry, media exposés that have prompted reforms resulting in multimillion dollar appropriations by Congress to try to enforce federal inspection laws, and a favorable decision by the Supreme Court to block construction of what was slated to be one of the largest hog factory farms in the country. Nonetheless, Eisnitz makes it clear that abuses continue and much work still needs to be done.
