"L'Afrique au temps du vertige des indépendances reconquises. De temps en temps, une grande et haute figure. Au Congo, celle de Patrice Lumumba. Homme politique. Sans doute le seul du Congo, et le plus grand de l'Afrique. C'est qu'il y a en lui du voyant et du poète. A travers cet homme que sa stature même semble désigner pour le mythe, toute l'histoire d'un continent et d'une humanité se joue de manière exemplaire et symbolique."
"This play by renowned poet and political activist Aime Cšaire recounts the tragic death of Patrice Lumumba, the first prime minister of the Congo Republic and an African nationalist hero. A Season in the Congo follows Lumumba's efforts to free the Congolese from Belgian rule and the political struggles that led to his assassination in 1961. Cšaire powerfully depicts Lumumba as a sympathetic, Christ-like figure whose conscious martyrdom reflects his self-sacrificing humanity and commitment to pan-Africanism."
"Aimé Césaire évoque dans ce recueil l'Afrique au temps du vertige des indépendances reconquises. De temps en temps, au fil des pages, une grande figure apparaît. Au Congo, c'est celle de Patrice Lumumba, homme politique, sans doute le seul du Congo, selon Césaire, et le plus grand de l'Afrique. C'est qu'il y voit en lui un voyant et un poète. A travers cet homme que sa stature même semble désigner pour le mythe, toute l'histoire d'un continent et d'une humanité se joue de manière symbolique. -- Description from http://www.evene.fr (Oct. 24, 2011)."
