This article presents information about the book "When the Mountain Fell," by C. F. Ramuz. Set in Switzerland, "When the Mountain Fell" tells of a landslide which falls upon the high pastures where a group of peasants graze their cattle each summer. All the group is killed except a young man named Antoine, who manages to tunnel his way back to life.
