Description
In this seminal work, Édouard Glissant plunges into the heart of Martinique's fragmented past through the eyes of young Mathieu Béluse. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, Mathieu embarks on a profound journey to unearth the hidden narratives and silenced voices that lie beneath the surface of official history. This novel is a powerful exploration of memory, identity, and the enduring struggle to reclaim a nation's true story from the shadows of colonialism. Glissant masterfully weaves a lyrical and complex tapestry, questioning the very nature of historical truth and the profound impact of the past on the present.
