There is an isolated microcosm, a refuge, an elsewhere, that literature has drowned in researching, inventing, fantasizing, to make us fear or idealize: the island. A territory like a planet, which we approach as an astronaut: we observe it from afar, approaching it by its contour, by the sea or by the sky, then our foot lands on its ground and it’s the unexpected. We leave its beaches to sink into its land, its forests and its mysteries, towards its foreign worlds which did not wait for our discovery to warm up. We meet the islanders, or the isolation, the island turns out to be gentle or inhospitablee, we dream of adventure or relaxation, boredom, and even madness.
Without a plane or a boat, the booksellers of Ici Librairie invite you to escape for a world tour from island to island by exploring their exciting fifty-six favorites.
