Je recommande à ceux qui le peuvent de lire ce livre en anglais, car la traduction est un peu édulcorée (le traducteur s'est enflammé au point d'avoir rajouté carrément des paragraphes entiers). Très beau livre en deux parties qui correspondent à deux générations, deux couches de mémoire de la seconde guerre mondiale, portées par les métaphores géologiques.

If one no longer has land but has the memory of land, then one can make a map.
