«La route étroite vers le nord lointain» is the historical novel by Richard Flanagan, published by Actes Sud in paperback (432 pages, in French).
During World War II, the young doctor Dorrigo Evans is sent to a Japanese labor camp, where prisoners build the railway between Siam and Burma in extreme conditions. Decades later, now a national hero, Dorrigo recalls the war, the comrades who did not survive and the love he shared with Amy before leaving for the front, in a reflection on memory, cruelty and the resilience of the human spirit.
The work, winner of the 2014 Booker Prize, is the French translation of «The Narrow Road to the Deep North», originally in English, by France Camus-Pichon.
