Description

Heuvel - Jean GionoIn juni 1927 reist Jean Giono met zijn zwangere vrouw van Manosque naar de Drme. Het is een autorit van een paar uur dwars door het onherbergzame landschap van de Provence, onder andere langs het Montagne de Lure en de Mont Ventoux. Achteraf schrijft Giono hierover aan zijn goede vriend, de schilder Lucien Jacques: Het is een zeer fraai landschap door zijn wilde grootsheid, door de rust die voortkomt uit een ijle kalmte: je waant je duizend meter

In juni 1927 reist Jean Giono met zijn zwangere vrouw van Manosque naar de Drôme. Het is een autorit van een paar uur dwars door het onherbergzame landschap van de Provence, onder andere langs het Montagne de Lure en de Mont Ventoux. Achteraf schrijft Giono hierover aan zijn goede vriend, de schilder Lucien Jacques: Het is een zeer fraai landschap door zijn wilde grootsheid, door de rust die voortkomt uit een ijle kalmte: je waant je duizend meter boven de Mount Everest. Er leeft een fantastische en pittoreske bevolking die iedere beschrijving tart. Toch denk ik dat ik er mijn volgende boek zal situeren. Deze impressies van Giono hebben als inspiratie gediend voor Colline (Heuvel), Giono’s debuutroman die twee jaar later zou verschijnen. Heuvel speelt zich af in een gehucht met vier huizen in de buurt van het Montagne de Lure, rondom een fontein, de enige waterbron. De bewoners krijgen te maken met een paar onfortuinlijke voorvallen en proberen wanhopig deze incidenten te duiden en zoeken hulp bij de dorpsoudste, Janet, die aan bed gekluisterd is en ijlend in een onbegrijpelijke taal begint te spreken. Het bijzondere aan dit boek is echter niet zozeer de intrige, maar de manier waarop dit kleine dorpse universum wordt geschilderd, en vooral de nauwe verbondenheid van de mensen met de natuur. Heuvel is een poëtische vertelling. De zinnen zijn relatief kort maar lyrisch, met naast de overvloed aan beelden ook veel muziek, zowel in klank als in ritme: ‘het zingt en het springt als een beek, en het stroomt en het schuurt’.

love the pockets hose!!!
Style: Ballistic, Size: 75 FT
I usually don't do reviews but the pocket hose is so great I had to . It works so well, flexible , not heavy or cumbersome to move about as it curls back to water spigot when water turned off after using!!! Fun to watch I want to throw all my other hoses out !! I am elderly and this is so light and easy for me to use. I first saw as an add on TV and was skeptical! So happy I gave it a try!! We now have2 -5oft and 1 -75 ft. Try it you'll like it !! I promise!! \

Not as durable as advertised.
This hose is not as durable as advertised. First time I used it and didn't work. The hose itself was slit or had some other issue with the band inside because water leaked through the hose and did not reach the nozzle. Update: I wrote to the manufacturer of the hose, Pocket Hose, regarding the defective hose. On May 30, 2026, they agreed to replace my hose under their warranty. On June 2, 2026, I received an email from them stating they recently updated their warranty policy to 30 days, and my notice was outside their 30-day warranty period. I then received an email from the seller of the hose, Bulb Head offering me a full refund on the hose. Something the manufacturer would not do. All I wanted was a replacement. I am changing my rating for the seller to 5 Stars for standing behind the sale of their product. Thank you, Bulb Head!

Great hose
Style: Regular, Size: 150 FT
I love these hoses. Length:I have a 50’ for the front yard and 150’ hose for the backyard. Nozzle is perfect for watering flowers, garden or great for washing the car. Flexible: Lightweight and so easy to move around. Turn off the water at the house and let it drain out the nozzle. Doesn’t take long to drain and return to original length. Durability is excellent. Connectivity is so easy.

Great product until it split
We bought the pocket hose 100’ copperhead expandable garden hose through Amazon from Bulbhead April 2025. We love the fact that it is light, retracts, doesn’t kink and came with a versatile nozzle. However, 13 months later, the hose split overnight, leaking an unknown amount of water to the street and eliminating water pressure in our house. Once we found the leak, we contacted the company. We were told there was a 30 day warranty and that our product was no longer covered. I’m not sure what product would break down in 30 days! I was asked if I could be compensated at all and they said no, there are discounts on the website. I will never buy this product through this company again as their customer service is lacking. Nothing was offered as a personal discount for their defective product.

reliable filters at a great price
Pattern Name: 16x20x1, Style: Merv 8
I've been using these Amazon Basics air filters for a while now, and they've been a great value. They fit perfectly, are easy to install, and do a good job of trapping dust, pollen, and other airborne particles. Since switching to these filters, I've noticed less dust around the house and my HVAC system seems to run efficiently. The MERV 8 rating provides solid everyday filtration without restricting airflow.
