This really is a unique book from a unique author in a unique place. The first and last work of this brilliant writer, published after his death, recounts the life of Ebenezer Le Page, an inhabitant on the island of Guernsey, who looks back on his life in his old age. The incredible and hyper-realistic writing style puts you right there amongst the people, the streets, the markets, peeking behind the curtains and into the lives of the inhabitants. We pass through almost an entire century, through two world wars and their aftermaths, immersed in a place that has been abandoned by the world, but which is immersed in itself.

Morizot, a French writer and philosopher, focuses his research on the relationship between mankind and the animals and plants which surround it. In this essay, he proposes his vision of a citizen who leaves his comfort zone to go and take refuge in the woods. This sets off a new way of living, which is actually an older way of living in the forest and tracking animals, and he coins the term of making yourself ‘inforested’. Do it!
