Douro Editions "Through reading, we become absent from ourselves and our own lives." Alphonse Karr
Christophe AUROS
Né à Paris, Christophe Auros effleure la marguerite de la Vie. Aime, aime beaucoup, aime passionnément, aime à la folie, n’aime pas du tout. Aime encore, aimera toujours, tant pis si c’est sans retour. Sa meilleure amie : la littérature.
Alexandre de Villeneuve, a wealthy financier, abandons his security and solitude for an unspoken quest. In his vehicle-temple, he wanders, letting chance and events guide him. Within a world that is crumbling, barbaric forces are at work. Magical thinking is the sister of science, but despite their pretensions, neither can complete the man who wanders, among simulacra and myths, towards his unknown. Literature alone transcends time. In the arms of a wild and beautiful nature, between mobility and immobility, encounters, signs, initiations, the traveler quickly finds himself confronted with his own decay. Will Alex have the courage to face his demons or will he pursue his insane goal? Can a man survive himself? Publication date: November 4, 2024 Order Press release
