In The 1970S, Berger Collaborated On Three Films With The Swiss Director Alain Tanner: His Major Fictional Work Of The 1980S Was The Trilogy Into Their Labours (Consisting Of The Novels Pig Earth, Once In Europa, And Lilac And Flag), Treats The European Peasant Experience From Its Farming Roots To Contemporary Economic And Political Displacement And Urban Poverty.
