Description :
Poetry, watercolours and music give a nostalgic and moving rhythm to these ?Mozambican stopovers?, a veritable love song to a country criss-crossed over three years (2012-2015) by Nicolas Martin-Sagarra, musician-poet, and his son Hector Viana-Martin, illustrator and botanist. In this astonishing travel diary, born of long memories and lulled by the captivating presence of music, the author also lets his love for the Portuguese language and poetic translation wander. Le Chant du Capricorne invites us to read, look and listen to the intimate imprint of a boundless journey. We wanted Nicolas Martin-Sagarra's texts to be translated into Portuguese to prolong the journey, because language is a journey in itself. With a foreword by the writer David Diop.
