Affirming that politics is the modern force of destiny and history is lived politics, Aimé Césaire reveals the invention of the future, of a rooted future. Christophe's Haitian adventure evokes the collective destiny of today's African people. The phase of acute revolt has been succeeded by that of re-cognition, of the constitution of an authentic and freely assumed heritage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThis undertaking must be that of a builder, an architect: Aimé Césaire has created a character of great and lofty stature with exceptional vigor and poetic invention. Christophe (whom the actor Douta Seck so powerfully inhabited) is a man of Africa. He is the Muntu, the man who participates in the vital force (the n'golo) and the man of the word (the nommo). The initial text of the play has been the subject of multiple revisions.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe latest version, which Présence Africaine is presenting today (after publishing the initial text) reveals the quality of the collaboration which brought together, at all times, the author Aimé Césaire and the director Jean-Marc Serreau.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong\u003eEAN\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003e9782708701304\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Used book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Book in \u003ca data-jwlink-type=\"page\" data-jwlink-identifier=\"16528063\" data-jwlink-title=\"Les différents états\" href=\"\/en\/les-differents-etats\"\u003egood condition\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The book matches the photo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Webador","offers":[{"title":"The Tragedy of King Christopher - Aimé Césaire - book","offer_id":51691088118099,"sku":"9782708701304","price":2.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/7599\/9571\/files\/librairie-biscarrosse-chasse-aux-bonheurs-21-standard-ijp1e0.jpg?v=1755918504","url":"https:\/\/chasseauxbonheurs.fr\/en\/products\/la-tragedie-du-roi-christophe-aime-cesaire-livre","provider":"Chasse aux bonheurs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
