Description

Nicolas Bouvier returns in the guise of Samuel Labarthe.<div> After taking us on a journey through the Balkans, Afghanistan, and India, the writer-traveler stops in Ceylon. A fever forces him to halt his travels and spend months in a room teeming with insects and strange visions. From this enforced immobility emerges an inner journey—humorous, lucid, and profoundly vibrant. Writing becomes a remedy, a means to transform reality and rebuild himself.</div><div><br></div><div> Thus was born The Fish-Scorpion, a surprising manual for self-use... An inner journey that takes us very far!</div><div><br></div>
