Mirèio. By Frédéric Mistral FULL Audiobook
Mirèio is a poem in Occitan by French writer Frédéric Mistral. It was written in 1859, after eight years of effort . The poem consists of twelve songs and tells the story of Vincent and Mireille, two young Provençal people of different social backgrounds, and their thwarted love . The name Mireille (Mirèio in Provence) is a doublet of the word meraviho which means wonder .

The poem is set in the poet's own time and district, and Mistral used it to promote the language, Occitan, which was the lingua franca of Southern France until the vergonha, as well as to share the culture of the Provença area . Mistral poured his love for the countryside where he was born into this poem .

Mirèio was translated into some fifteen European languages, including into French by Mistral himself . In 1863, Charles Gounod made it into an opera, Mireille .

The plot of the poem is as follows: In Provence, Mirèio is the daughter of a rich farmer. She is in love with a modest basketmaker, Vincènt. Her father disapproves of the relationship and seeks other suitors. Mirèio, in despair, escapes from her house to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. There she prays to the saints that her father will accept her relationship with Vincènt. The way is hard and unbearably hot. At the end, the saints appear to Mirèio. They tell her of their happiness in Paradise, and Mirèio dies in peace .

Mistral dedicated his book to Alphonse de Lamartine, a French writer, poet, and politician who was instrumental in the foundation of the Second Republic and the continuation of the Tricolore as the flag of France . Lamartine wrote enthusiastically about the poem, calling it a masterpiece and a true Homeric poem in our time .
