Les Lumières de l'Orient: 101 jours pour être libre (French Edition)

A man washed up on a beach, a mysterious accident, an epic to discover. Lucid, sometimes lost, but above all in love with life, who is this tireless traveler who left everything behind?

Through his diary, he takes us on a fabulous adventure to the end of the world in a fascinating Orient. Rare landscapes, mythical cities, delicious encounters, his journey is an experience. It tells the story of the metamorphosis of a man grappling with the ambiguities of the quest and the escape, on the border between light and darkness.

Anyone who dreams of setting out on their own odyssey can always take the first step with someone else’s. However, there is one essential question we must answer before setting sail. Are we ready to chart our course without looking back?

About The Author

Born 1971 in Nantes, Samuel Roy spent all his youth on the remote island of La Réunion in the Indian Ocean, idyllic years under a permanent blue sky facing the horizon. He always kept his love for the tropics and a taste for change of scenery. Back in France, he graduated from the renowned École des Mines, and as a civil engineer spent most of his career abroad.

In a hectic life he never stopped exploring the world. He worked in Greece in a power plant, participated in archaeological excavations in the Mediterranean, lived among monks on the Syrian border, studied the ancient Ottoman in Turkey. Traveling further and further he discovered, often alone, Iran, India, China and Japan, demanding countries from which he returned each time amazed. His studies in America, his expeditions to the other side of the world, his knowledge of oriental languages, his eclectic friendships, all come to enrich his imagination and his project to write.
