Every day, Stéphane Place offers you a literature break, in partnership with the Librairie Mollat de Bordeaux. Today, "A long journey" by Claire Duvivier.
"A long journey" by Claire Duvivier
Too bad for those who assimilate the fantasy novel to a tale necessarily populated by heroic fighters, magicians with incredible powers, hold a unicorn that has just toast the priority to an angry dragon. Stéphane Place hardly exaggerates, there are all the same recipes seen and reviewed and which, by dint of being copied, can get boring. So precisely one of the merits of "A long journey" that Claire Duvivier signs, it is to involve the reader in an adventure which does not obey its rather easy codes. There, the narrator is a simple man who will nevertheless become the privileged witness of the end of an empire. This is the favorite of Ulysse Ronné, bookseller at Mollat.
A bias, a choice that claims, for her first novel, Claire Duvivier.
A little over 300 pages for "A long journey" successful.
