La Provence, c'est pour Daudet une certaine réalité morale, dont il dégage l'originalité. Cette réalité c'est, par-delà la pauvreté et la rudesse de ces existences, un goût méditerranéen de la vie. C'est aussi, par contraste avec la futilité des sentiments parisiens, un relief dû à la puissance des passions qui animent le peuple : passion de Maître Cornille acharné à nier le temps présent et à maintenir malgré tout son moulin en activité ; passion naïve et têtue de Blanquette, la petite chèvre, pour la liberté et le grand mystère de la montagne.

During the late years of the 18th century, the spirit of Enlightenment thinking and revolution were in the air. The world was changing, moving away from ingrained beliefs about religion, reason, society, and the rights of the individual and turning more toward the laws of nature as interpreted by the scientific method.

Throughout most of evolution humans walked barefoot and slept on the ground, largely oblivious that the surface of the Earth contains limitless healing energy. Science has discovered this energy as free-flowing electrons constantly replenished by solar radiation and lightning. Few people know it, but the ground provides a subtle electric signal that maintains health and governs the intricate mechanisms that make our bodies work - just like plugging a lamp into a power socket makes it light up.

The most notorious man in history, Adolf Hitler, is best known for having perpetrated crimes against humanity over the six-year course of World War II. His brutal extermination policies are responsible for the deaths of close to 30 million people he considered inferior, and added to that, the military casualties suffered by all parties, yields a grand total of approximately 60 million people dead by the end of the war. That number equates to 3% of the world's population at the time. But, who was this man? What made him into the monster he became? Can his childhood explain the formation of such a brutal dictator?
