En savoir plus sur le livre
This powerful exploration of mental illness and the quest for healing through yoga unfolds as Emmanuel Carrère embarks on a ten-day meditative retreat in rural France, aiming to find clarity for his next book. Initially filled with literary success and family joy, his journey takes a dramatic turn following the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack, plunging him into a chaotic Paris. As his life spirals, Carrère faces a diagnosis of Bipolar II Disorder and is admitted to a psychiatric hospital, where he undergoes electroshock therapy. Amidst the collapse of his marriage, the grief of losing a close friend, and the haunting memory of a vanished love, he confronts his identity as both a man and a writer. This narrative captures the dualities of existence—life and death, desire and despair, presence and absence. It reflects on how the practice of meditation and the act of writing can profoundly influence our lives. With raw honesty and humor, the book offers a compelling self-portrait of a man grappling with his inner turmoil, showcasing the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
