«Le livre des fuites» is the adventure novel by J. M. G. Le Clézio, published by Gallimard in paperback (284 pages, in French).
The young J.H.H., born in Vietnam, travels the world in perpetual flight. His journey goes from Cambodia to Japan, from New York to Mexico and Canada, while he observes monstrous cities, roads, deserts and populations mired in misery. The trip becomes a personal examination and a portrait of human geography.
The 1990 edition belongs to Gallimard's L'Imaginaire collection. The novel was originally published in 1969.
For readers interested in contemporary French literature and in novels of travel and personal reflection.
