Jean-Christophe Rufin: "The mountain is freedom"

2021-11-19T05:29:10.922Z


GREAT INTERVIEW - The academician lives in part near Chamonix, where, between two climbs, he wrote his new novel, Les Flammes de Pierre. The opportunity to tell the mountain, its beauties, its dangers, but also the threats hanging over it.


Jean-Christophe Rufin is almost as difficult to grasp as the snow leopard dear to his friend Sylvain Tesson, with whom he likes to climb the alpine walls that surround his chalet. That day, he returned from Romania and was preparing to leave for Mexico, where the next adventures of Consul Aurel, the hero of his successful geopolitical-detective novels, will take place. The writer repeats it in the interview he gave us: he has many lives, which have been intertwined for forty years. Unable to remain in place like to dig a single literary furrow, the former humanitarian doctor and diplomat is publishing two new books this fall which will delight his readers a little more, whether or not they are keen on climbing and hiking in the heights.
