With a magnificent poetic prose, Julien Gracq recounts the youth of Aldo, from the moment he left the ghost town of Orsenna to be sent as an officer to the Admiralty of the Syrtes province. We follow him on the road that seems to never end. Arriving in the fog of the Syrtes, Aldo meets Captain Marino. His antipathy towards the isolated and dreary citadel gradually became an indefinable attachment. Proposed by the Association Textes & Voix.
