Henri Mouhot, voyageur fran�ais en Indochine, fait une chute en pourchassant un papillon. En se relevant, il tombe nez � nez avec les temples d’Angkor. Patrick Deville prend cette anecdote comme point de d�part pour tisser toute une histoire de l’Indochine, de Mouhot � la colonisation fran�aise, jusqu’� l’horreur du r�gime Khmer rouge. Tout en livrant une m�ditation po�tique sur cette trag�die, l’auteur raconte son voyage le long du fleuve M�kong et d�crit la beaut� des paysages cambodgiens. � Avec la puissance de ses phrases superbes, l’infinie subtilit� de son analyse, Patrick Deville pose un million de fleurs sur ce vaste et absurde cimeti�re. � Le Figaro � Cette m�ditation, l’�crivain la conduit � sa mani�re, qu’on aime et admire de livre en livre : avec profondeur et ironie, m�lancolie et minutie, intelligence et intensit�. � T�l�rama Parution simultan�e de Peste & Chol�ra aux �ditions du Seuil.

Store Description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
