Bibliotopia 2022 | Interview with Jean-Christophe Rufin

"The Restorative Power of the Mountains"
Moderation : Salomé Kiner

Jean-Christophe Rufin, a French doctor, diplomat, globetrotter, novelist and member of the Académie française, is widely involved both in the world of literature and humanitarian action. History, politics and otherness are at the heart of his many novels from "The Abyssinian" (1999), "Brazil Red" (2004, Prix Goncourt), both translated by Willard Wood, to "Red Collar" (2015, translated by Adriana Hunter). "Les Flammes de Pierre" explores the redemptive power of the mountains.
