Une enfance menacee par la maladie, une mere omni-presente et possessive. A vingt-neuf ans, Paul Folley se rebelle. Pour echapper a l`etouffement, il choisit de seduire et d`epouser la premiere fille rencontree. Elle est terne, coincee, meme godiche. Rien ne les rap-proche que la solitude. Et pourtant ces deux etres entrent sans le savoir dans une histoire impitoyable, marquee par tous les dechirements de Famour fou. Sebastien Japrisot a dix ans de moins que son heros quand il publie ce recit. Comme on l`ecrivit alors : "Tant de surete dans la violence, tant de maitrise dans la peinture des passions, n`ont pas fini d`eton-ner".

You will swim with penguins underneath the ice in the Antarctic, rest on a leaf in the Amazon with a dragonfly, and roam the forest floor in Borneo with a recognized scientist. By the end, you will know that...
