Summary
"One early Easter Sunday morning, a mother wanders the streets of Fond-Zombi, on the island of Martinique, and a baby abandoned in a hut cries between the hooves of a mule. As an adult, the baby, named Pascal, lives peacefully… with his adoptive family. He is handsome, of mixed race, no one knows from where, and his eyes are as green as the sea that has seen him grow up. But the mystery of his existence soon takes its toll on him. What are his origins? What is expected of him? Evil tongues speak and rumors fly around the island. It is said that he heals the sick, that he performs miraculous fishing... He is even said to be the son of a god, but whose god? In search of answers, Pascal ventures into an America where much remains to be done and said. A prophet without a message, a messiah without salvation, he confronts the great mysteries of this world. Colonialism, racism, exploitation and globalization merge with his own experiences in a story full of beauty and horror, love and lovelessness, hope and defeat." -- Translation provided by NLS
