Synopsis
In this French bestseller by Nobel laureate Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, Alexis L'Etang's idyllic childhood is shattered after the financial ruin and death of his father. Determined to restore the family wealth, L'Etang travels to Rodrigues Island (part of Mauritius off the coast of Africa) to seek fabled buried treasure, but finds riches of another kind in the culture of the island people, and the love of a native woman. His new peace is threatened again, however, with the start of World War I. Le Clezio writes with a lavish lyricism about the pleasures and beauty of Mauritius, and powerfully evokes the clash of cultures and philosophies that takes place on the fringes of civilization.

The story of a man's obsession with a buried treasure, which takes him from the tropics to World War I, through a love affair and a confrontation with his inner self.
