In History of a Mountain , published in 1886, Élisée Reclus indulges in the detailed exploration of the natural environment observed during a stay in the Alps. Combining a scientific perspective and philosophical reflection on freedom and happiness, he meticulously analyzes the landscapes, their geology, their climate, their flora, their fauna, and describes sensitively the life of the mountain people who live there. With clarity, simplicity and lyricism, he manages to share with us the emotions of his experience lived in the heights.
A great geographer, theorist and practitioner of anarchy, Élisée Reclus (1830-1905) composed a literary and scientific work of astonishing modernity, in which he reflects, through informed and poetic descriptions, all the richness of natural environments. Among his most famous works are The New Universal Geography , geographical encyclopedia in 19 volumes , Man and the Earth , Story of a mountain And Story of a stream .
Bérengère Cournut, likes to explore dreamlike literary terrains and has notably written Elise on the paths (Le Tripode, 2021), a fantasy novel largely inspired by the life of Elisée Reclus, and Zizi hut (Le Tripode, 2022), which mixes tale, myth and elements to evoke absence.
Clément Vuillier, author and illustrator, collaborated to first issues of Reliefs ( Abysses , Tropics , Poles and Galaxies ). His meticulous images, teeming with details, draw us into a unique and dreamlike universe. His graphic novel Terre rare was published in 2022 by 2024.
