Embark with Sylvain Tesson on a poetic journey in search of the "fairies": those flashes of beauty that emerge in nature. In the summer of 2022, Sylvain Tesson sets off along the Atlantic coast in search of "fairies", those moments of grace that the eye reveals in the world: a reflection on the sea, the wind in the leaves, beauty emerging from a shape. From Galicia to Scotland, he travels by sea to the headlands where the marvellous is born. In this sensitive and luminous account, he shares his quest for wonder in a world that has become too mechanical.
This lecture will be followed by a book signing.
