looking for J.M Le Clezio
Jean-Pierre DEGAS / hemis.fr
Feature
Mauritius Island :
Bringing Le Clézio closer to Mauritius is like searching for his origins. The ancestors of the Nobel Prize winner had settled on the island in the 19th century, bankers, members of parliament for Moka or barons of the sugar industry, they all played a major role in the political and social life of the island. Le Clézio devoted many pages to this subject, a memorial space: The gold digger, Journey to Rodrigues, La Quarantaine (Forty or so)… In The Gold-diggers, JMG Clézio, changes the emblematic name of the family estate since 1856, Eureka, to "Boucan", giving new life to the dream of the former Ile de France:" Just as if time had stood still. Daylight filters through the heavy wooden shutters, revealing, as if time had stood still, the dining-room, the music room, Eugene's library with its walls covered with porcelain and china-ware from the Indian Company, a scene evoking by-gone days.
