Yoga Practise

Emmanuel Carrère is a renowned writer. After decades of emotional upheaval, he has begun to live successfully—he is healthy; he works; he loves. He practices meditation, striving to observe the world without evaluating it. In this state of heightened awareness, he sets out for a ten-day silent retreat in the French heartland, leaving his phone, his books, and his daily life behind. But he’s also gathering material for his next book, which he thinks will be a pleasant, useful introduction to yoga. Four days later, there’s a tap on the window: something has happened.

C’est l’histoire d’un livre sur le yoga et la dépression. La méditation et le terrorisme. L’aspiration à l’unité et le trouble bipolaire. Des choses qui n’ont pas l’air d’aller ensemble, et pourtant : elles vont ensemble. Avec une grande justesse, Thibault de Montalembert restitue toute la force de ce roman solaire et douloureux, qui explore sans concession les tréfonds de la psyché humaine.
