Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from La Revue Blanche, 1903, Vol. 30
Rivi�re aimait, par une paternit� adoptive intimement assi mil�e, la population cr�ole. Il en aimait la couleur brune et l'odeur fauve comme un ermite peut aimer la terre boueuse des for�ts. Devant elle, une passion idyllique de l'�le natale lui reve nait au coeur comme � un marcheur fatigu� devant un boucan po�tiquement enfum� dans le brumaire du cr�puscule, au fond des grands bois sauvages du Centre insulaire. Avant de parler, il se tint immobile deux minutes devant la foule, la regardant pleinement dans une �motion de larmes.
