Title : The Doors to Adventure - Jean Hougron - book

Summary :

If we were to believe the old man? Quang, the mixed-race Fremont, had seized the Hoa-Binh treasure after killing the chief of the Great Pagoda. But Fremont lives in the heart of Laos, his conscience visibly clear. Is this Quang story false? Half-true - and Fremont tells the true story of the expedition to the island of PouloCondor. There are roads in Indochina. Who builds them? Hard workers like Legras, the Man of Kilometer 53, who fights every meter of ground against bad weather, elephants, and the Viets. A hard life and, in the end, retirement. Henry Lafitte managed differently, and it is still young and already rich that he returns to marry Françoise. But he is not of the stuff of which provincial bourgeois are made. This is the bitter conclusion of Retour, the third short story in this volume, where we find the themes and mastery that made J. Hougron famous in the cycle of La Nuit indochinoise.
