The Man Who Planted Trees by Jean Giono is an excellent environmental text that seeks to motivate people to plant trees in a bid to fight a real and a serious environmental challenge to the humanity desertification. Despite the brevity of this text, the writer succeeded in creating a coherent literary work that has been translated into many languages through creating a sense of awareness as well as through creativity in the linguistic and narrative methods of the text. This research attempts to provide a stylistic, linguistics, and environmental analysis of Giono's text, through an analysis of vocabulary and excerpts, including rhetorical devices, character names, and their meanings. The research considers environmental and stylistic aspects, names and religious vocabulary, and reveals how the author succeeded in combining several elements to form a coherent narrative text, which has become one of the most famous pillars of environmental literature. Furthermore, Giono's integration of such elements reflecting his religious fervor lends the text a religious dimension. The author further explores the importance of ecosystem through dichotomies: before and after the efforts undertaken by Elzéard Bouffier in planting trees.
