Romain Gary's Les Racines du Ciel is the best novel written in the 20th century. I highly recommend any of Romain Gary's books; Les Racines du Ciel is simply the best of his work.
Romain Gary's Les Racines du Ciel is the best novel written in the 20th century. In part, it is the story of a man who attempts to disappear in Africa only to make himself very famous as a renegade protector of elephants. The novel preceded any environmental movements by more than a decade.
Romain Gary had a full and varied life. The first book of his that I read was Les Trésors de la mer rouge, and I found his style enticing, particularly as it related to one of the last outposts of the French Empire, Djibouti. He was born in Vilnius (now in Lithuania) when it was part of the Russian Empire. His mother and he moved to Nice, France, and became French citizens in 1928. His first wife was Lesley Blanch, author of the excellent The Wilder Shores of Love.
Adolescent, j’avais beaucoup aimé Les Racines du Ciel tout en étant trop jeune pour en apprécier les beautés stylistiques. Plus tard, l’extraordinaire maîtrise du langage dont Gary/Ajar fait preuve dans La Vie devant soi m’avait à la fois charmé, séduit et impressionné. On retrouve cette maîtrise dans La Promesse de l’Aube, mais (signe d’une intelligence supérieure) l’auteur en détecte lui-même les faiblesses. Il s’accuse de nombrilisme. Comme Jean-Jacques Rousseau, il se complaît dans la description d’épisodes douloureusement ridicules pour sa mère ou lui-même.
