In this book JMG Le Clézio tells us about life. The tone is quite monotonous, this book is like a tinted encyclopedia of poetry. I admit sometimes a little forced myself to read some passing as I saw after I happened without real surprise. In fact the author simply gives us his point of view and is free to return to the most intense moments. Personally I really loved the end that made me shiver and maybe even shed a tear (I do not remember), it's pretty powerful without being Péteux. What I find so formidable is the presence of unusual vocabulary. To summarize I would say that this book is an ode to life, it lacks almost a dedication of God on the front cover.
This book is a basics that should be put in the hands of each infant.
