Canción de infancia

On this sentimental journey through Brittany, the idyllic land of his childhood, Le Clézio invites us to reflect on territorial identity, nationalisms and the passage of time. From his first memory -the explosion of a bomb in the garden of his grandmother's house-, through the years lived as a child of war, which so terribly impacted his learning of the world, the Nobel Prize in Literature draws an essential page of its emotional geography that speaks of belonging and its place in memory. A journey towards maturity, but above all a lucid look at the socio-political changes in a single territory, the progressive disappearance of its traditional economy and the proud dignity of a people that, despite everything, clings to its roots.
