About this title

Synopsis

e son adolescence aust�re aux c�t�s d'un p�re lib�ral � Langon et � Bordeaux, �milie ne retient que le souvenir �touffant des salons et l'ardent d�sir de s'en �chapper pour c�der � l'appel de l'inconnu.

Son mariage avec Lucien Berni�res, administrateur colonial d�tach� aupr�s des Hollandais dans la lointaine Java, lui permet de r�aliser tout � coup ses r�ves d'aventure et d'exotisme. C'est � Batavia, �l�gante capitale de cette �le luxuriante, qu'elle d�couvrira au d�but du XXe si�cle l'injustice et la perversit� de l'ordre des Blancs, la lutte des indig�nes opprim�s, le monde myst�rieux de la piraterie et de l'opium, au coeur d'une intrigue politique qui -m�nera � la mort. Mais elle trouvera aussi l'amour et sa libert� dans les bras d'un jeune r�volt� de l'�le des �pices.

En retra�ant le destin exaltant d'une femme passionn�e et intr�pide � laquelle elle a donn� toute son �me, Catherine van Mopp�s nous entra�ne, des bords de la Garonne � Singapour et Java en passant par Leyde, dans un univers envo�tant, � l'heure de la colonisation hollandaise et des premiers soubresauts annon�ant la fin des Empires d'outre-mer. Un r�cit sensuel et captivant.
