«La traversée» is the autobiographical account by Philippe Labro, published by Gallimard in 1996 in paperback (300 pages, in French).
Philippe Labro recounts the illness that led him to intensive care and the experience he describes as close to death. He perceives time without order, sees monsters, angels, landscapes and faces, and feels compassion, horror and love while two inner voices clash: one urges him to give up, the other to fight.
The book belongs to Gallimard's Blanche collection and was published in Paris; the cover bears the publisher's nrf logo.
Recommended for readers interested in memoirs and testimonies about illness, hospitalization and near-death experiences, from a French literary perspective.
Philippe Labro was a French author, journalist and film director. He worked for RTL, Paris Match, TF1, and Antenne 2. He received the Prix Interallié for his autobiography L'Étudiant étranger in 1986.
