Une Main

Rate this book
Toute vie, à l'instar de toute oeuvre, est faite de chutes et de rebonds. Dans ce texte autobiographique, Ramuz se dévoile, laissant le lecteur pénétrer dans son intimité, dans sa maison, son bureau, se mettant en scène torse nu et soumis à ses médecins autant qu'aux impératifs du corps. Car à la mi-janvier de 1931, Ramuz glisse sur du verglas et se brise l'humérus gauche. Impossible d'écrire. L'auteur réfléchit dès lors à sa relation à la création : sa vie, semble-t-il conclure, n'a de sens que par la place qu'elle occupera dans son oeuvre.
