Afficher les exemplaires de cette édition ISBNThe youngest of three children of an enlightened and intellectual family (his father was a librarian), Bouvier's early reading of RL Stevenson, Jules Verne, Jack London and Fenimore Cooper made him impatient for the world. He was encouraged to travel as a teenager by his father, who perhaps sensed that there was no holding his insatiable son in the rigorously controlled emotional world of the Bouvier household.
It was during a three-day trek in Finnish tundra, in bivouacking under the stars, that he realised the nomadic state had something to teach him. Without waiting for the result of his degree, in 1953 he left to join Thierry Vernet in Yugoslavia with no intention of returning.
The fruit of this companionable journey of a year and a half, The Way of the World, was only published some eight years later in 1963. Bouvier continued his travels, through India to Ceylon and thence to Japan. From his experience of Ceylon in 1955 came The Scorpion-Fish, a novel first published in 1981, and from Japan, which he was to live in for more than a year and to revisit in the 1960s and 1970s, came a distillation of experiences, The Japanese Chronicles, which were honed and rehoned, and published in their final version in 1975.
