Title : The Secret Years of a Man's Life - Robert Sabatier - book

Summary :

After the Swedish Matches series , Robert Sabatier invites us to experience the extraordinary adventure of a man of our time, Emmanuel Gaspard Oth, known as "Ego." This journey of a lifetime is also that of our planet, from Europe to the Far East and other places. Where is the promised land? In this fishing village in the south of Japan where Ego mixes with local life and discovers the love of Hayano the diver? The Pacific Ocean of typhoons during a magnificent odyssey? A lost islet where unexpected witnesses of an already old battle appear? A sumptuous residence in the company of the one who will transform his thoughts and his person, the mysterious Alexandre J. Bisao, of the ephebe Tokujiro, of a lady of the court? On the borders of madness and opium? In Hong Kong, in India, in Africa, in France where strange reunions take place? Endless encounters, adventures, passions, and wounds are the narrator's lot. And, at the heart of this teeming tale, the flash of a contemporary tragedy, a realistic vision whose Passion will be constantly lived, a page of history traced in letters of fire as it has never been described thus. Finally, the intrusion of the most terrifying mystery: the splitting of the being and its own rejection.
Crossed by signs, uniting the magnificence of terrestrial or marine landscapes with the marvelous interior, it is a great work in which human questions are identified: search for a saving path, mirror of the century, cry of indignation before the miseries of the world, praise of its beauties, call for union - because the novel reads at the same time as the story of a concrete adventure and that of a design where a dynamic thought finds its nest. The Secret Years of a Man 's Life, a long-matured novel of wandering, history, love and destiny, these are the years of each and every one at the heart of the 20th century through a writing conducted at the height of the subject, from watercolor to fresco, from solitary song to symphonic instrumentation. It is the emergence of a language of frank flow, crossed by overwhelming vibrations, a line-by-line exploration, an extraction of the minerals and precious stones that each person contains within themselves and in which the reader, a new Ulysses, will recognize himself, because this book, between winds and tides, is that of the man of our time.
