With this third volume highlighting the wisdom of the inhabitants of the Pacific, Céline Ripoll invites us, in all humility, to travel through the universe of Aboriginal dreams transmitted since the dawn of time on the immense land of Australia. Imbued with great sensitivity, this collection offers us all the beauty but also the harshness of the world, of their world, that of the Aborigines. To understand the monumentality of the stories, we must penetrate their thoughts. A magnificent invitation that the author offers us, well beyond the desire for exoticism. It is another reading of values, of the social order, of the responsibility of each one that is shared with us. The painting of these words from timeless times still seems fresh; With a few dotted touches of humor, these stories echoing our current questions will not fail to challenge. Perhaps you will return from this journey overwhelmed, but for that you will have to accept being touched by what you cannot touch.
