In Continuer, Sybille takes her son Samuel on a long horseback journey through Kyrgyzstan, at once a maternal rescue mission and an initiatory ordeal. As Norbert Czarny observed, “Continuer is also an adventure novel, one full of action verbs describing obstacles, perils, threats, and the responses Sybille and Samuel give to them. One senses in Mauvignier a pleasure in storytelling, no doubt close to what he once found in reading Jules Verne, Jack London or Joseph Conrad. And this pleasure is contagious” (En attendant Nadeau, no. 16, September 13, 2016).
A very fine copy, in perfect condition.
