""Que reste-t-il des émotions, des rêves, des désirs quand tout disparaît? L'homme d'Aden, l'empoisonneur de Harrar sont-ils les mêmes que l'adolescent furieux qui poussa une nuit la porte du café de la rue Madame, son regard sombre passant sur un enfant de neuf ans qui était mon grand-père? Je marche dans toutes ces rues, j'entends le bruit de mes talons qui résonne dans la nuit, rue Victor-Cousin, rue Serpente, place Maubert, dans les rues de la Contrescarpe. Celui que je cherche n'a plus de nom. Il est moins qu'une ombre, moins qu'une trace, moins qu'un fantôme. Il est en moi comme une vibration, comme un désir, un élan de l'imagination, un rebond du cœur, pour mieux m'envoler. D'ailleurs je prends demain l'avion pour l'autre bout du monde. L'autre extrémité du temps."--Back cover."
""Corre el año 1872 cuando en una taberna parisiense irrumpe desafiante el poeta Arthur Rimbaud y amenaza a la clientela. Diecinueve años después, Jacques Archambau, un joven médico que de niño asistió atónito a la tormentosa escena y que ignora cuán ligado se halla su destino al del célebre poeta, embarca en el Ava con su esposa Suzanne y su hermano Léon rumbo a la isla Mauricio, su tierra natal. Allí les espera el gran clan familiar que antaño expulsara al padre de Jacques y Léon. Sin embargo, tras declararse dos casos de cólera en el barco, los pasajeros -un puñado de europeos y multitud de indios contratados para la recolección de la caña de azucar- se ven obligados a desembarcar en la isla Plate, frente a Mauricio, para pasar la cuarentena. Abandonados a su suerte, verán convertirse la paradisiaca isla en un infierno del que no saben si saldrán con vida. Frente a un Jacques perplejo y una Suzanne tal vez ya contagiada, Léon volverá los ojos hacia la isla, hacia la joven y bella india Suryavati"--Page 4 of cover."
