«Aphorismes dans les herbes: Et autres propos de la nuit» is a book of aphorisms by Sylvain Tesson published by Pocket in paperback (154 pages, in French).
The book brings together brief aphorisms that observe landscapes, everyday objects and travel moments, and proposes shedding the superfluous to get closer to nature and truth. Tesson describes the aphorism as a traveler's discipline: inhabiting silence, beauty and disillusionment, and writing like one who walks towards the essential.
With drawings by Michel Pinosa, this French edition was published on November 6, 2014.
For readers of French poetry and lovers of nature and travel literature.
Sylvain Tesson is a French writer and traveller born in Paris. He has engaged in a number of unusual travels and expeditions which are the basis for his books.
