« La porte du voyage sans retour » est le surnom donné à l’île de Gorée, d’où sont partis des millions d’Africains au temps de la traite des Noirs. C’est dans ce qui est en 1750 une concession française qu’un jeune homme débarque, venu au Sénégal pour étudier la flore locale. Botaniste, il caresse le rêve d’établir une encyclopédie universelle du vivant, en un siècle où l’heure est aux Lumières. Lorsqu’il a vent de l’histoire d’une jeune Africaine promise à l’esclavage et qui serait parvenue à s’évader, trouvant refuge quelque part aux confins de la terre sénégalaise, son voyage et son destin basculent dans la quête obstinée de cette femme perdue qui a laissé derrière elle mille pistes et autant de légendes. S’inspirant de la figure de Michel Adanson, naturaliste français (1727-1806), David Diop signe un roman éblouissant, évocation puissante d’un royaume où la parole est reine, odyssée bouleversante de deux êtres qui ne cessent de se rejoindre, de s’aimer et de se perdre, transmission d’un héritage d’un père à sa fille, destinataire ultime des carnets qui relatent ce voyage caché.

FINALIST FOR THE 2023 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR TRANSLATED FICTION 'Stunningly realized... A spellbinding novel' MAAZA MENGISTE, Booker Prize–shortlisted author of The Shadow King 'Diop has opened a new way of thinking about the eighteenth century and its hideous cruelties' ABDULRAZAK GURNAH, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 'A compelling romantic adventure... Through an act of remembrance, Diop seeks to build a repository of lives and histories lost to the slave trade' FINANCIAL TIMES __________ The captivating new novel from David Diop, winner of the International Booker Prize Paris, 1806. Michel Adanson is dying. The last word to escape his lips is a woman's name: Maram. Who was she? Why, in the course of his long life, has he never spoken of her before? As Adanson's daughter sorts through his things, she discovers a notebook. It reveals a secret history both fantastical and terrible, of his time as a young botanist travelling in Senegal. How Adanson first heard of the 'revenant': a young woman of noble birth, abducted and sold into slavery across the seas, who then did the impossible-she came back, to live in hiding. How he became obsessed with finding her, embarking on an odyssey that would lead to danger and destruction. How a man who longed to solve the mysteries of nature instead found himself faced with the uncontrollable impulses of the human heart. Tragic and tender, alive with feeling, this is a story of adventure, revenge and impossible desires, one which subverts our every expectation about who we are and who we love.

Un europeo ilustrado del siglo XVIII en África: un viaje a las profundidades del alma humana. En 1749 el botánico francés Michel Adanson desembarca en Senegal para estudiar la flora como parte de sus investigaciones para elaborar una gran enciclopedia. Permanecerá allí hasta 1753, año en que regresa a Europa. Hasta aquí los hechos estrictamente históricos. A partir de ahí, el novelista David Diop imagina la existencia de unos diarios secretos escritos por el naturalista durante su transformadora estancia africana; un dietario que, tras su fallecimiento, acabará en manos de su hija Aglaé. ¿Qué contienen esas páginas que permanecieron ocultas durante tantos años? Las experiencias vitales de un científico que viajó a África en busca de plantas exóticas y se encontró con personas; el testimonio de quien se trasladó a otro país para estudiar la naturaleza y se topó con el dolor de los seres humanos. En Senegal, Adanson conocerá a Maram Seck, una joven de la etnia wólof que se rebela contra su destino de esclava después de que su tío la haya vendido a cambio de un fusil. El botánico descubrirá una cosmovisión muy distinta a la suya, que lo transformará para siempre, y sabrá de la existencia de la isla de Gorea, donde los traficantes cargaban de esclavos los barcos con destino a América. Era la puerta del viaje sin retorno... David Diop ha escrito un libro de aventuras desde una nueva óptica: la de los colonizados. A través de la mirada de un europeo ilustrado que desembarca en África, nos ofrece una espléndida novela poscolonial, que no es solo la denuncia de muchas injusticias, si no también el relato de un viaje a lo más profundo de la consciencia humana y de la comprensión del mundo en toda su complejidad.

*WINNER OF THE 2021 INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE* *ONE OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2021* Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for fiction Shortlisted for the 2022 DUBLIN Literary Award "Astonishingly good." —Lily Meyer, NPR "So incantatory and visceral I don’t think I’ll ever forget it." —Ali Smith, The Guardian | Best Books of 2020 One of The Wall Street Journal's 11 best books of the fall | One of The A.V. Club's fifteen best books of 2020 |A Sunday Times best book of the year Selected by students across France to win the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens, David Diop’s English-language, historical fiction debut At Night All Blood is Black is a “powerful, hypnotic, and dark novel” (Livres Hebdo) of terror and transformation in the trenches of the First World War. Alfa Ndiaye is a Senegalese man who, never before having left his village, finds himself fighting as a so-called “Chocolat” soldier with the French army during World War I. When his friend Mademba Diop, in the same regiment, is seriously injured in battle, Diop begs Alfa to kill him and spare him the pain of a long and agonizing death in No Man’s Land. Unable to commit this mercy killing, madness creeps into Alfa’s mind as he comes to see this refusal as a cruel moment of cowardice. Anxious to avenge the death of his friend and find forgiveness for himself, he begins a macabre ritual: every night he sneaks across enemy lines to find and murder a blue-eyed German soldier, and every night he returns to base, unharmed, with the German’s severed hand. At first his comrades look at Alfa’s deeds with admiration, but soon rumors begin to circulate that this super soldier isn’t a hero, but a sorcerer, a soul-eater. Plans are hatched to get Alfa away from the front, and to separate him from his growing collection of hands, but how does one reason with a demon, and how far will Alfa go to make amends to his dead friend? Peppered with bullets and black magic, this remarkable novel fills in a forgotten chapter in the history of World War I. Blending oral storytelling traditions with the gritty, day-to-day, journalistic horror of life in the trenches, David Diop's At Night All Blood is Black is a dazzling tale of a man’s descent into madness.

Cet ouvrage examine la mortalité des captifs à bord des navires négriers, en tentant de vérifier dans quelle mesure le phénomène variait en fonction des routes maritimes, du temps passé à terre avant l'embarquement, ou de la longueur des trajets. Il s'intéresse plus particulièrement aux différentes causes de décès des captifs pendant la traversée, et en particulier aux maladies et aux traumatismes.

The hotly anticipated new novel by David Diop, winner of the International Booker Prize. Paris, 1806. The renowned botanist Michel Adanson lies on his deathbed, the masterwork to which he dedicated his life still incomplete. As he expires, the last word to escape his lips is a woman’s name: Maram. The key to this mysterious woman’s identity is Adanson’s unpublished memoir of the years he spent in Senegal, concealed in a secret compartment in a chest of drawers. Therein lies a story as fantastical as it is tragic: Maram, it turns out, is none other than the fabled revenant. A young woman of noble birth from the kingdom of Waalo, Maram was sold into slavery but managed to escape from the Island of Gorée—a major embarkation point of the transatlantic slave trade—to a small village hidden in the forest. While on a research expedition in West Africa as a young man, Adanson hears the story of the revenant and becomes obsessed with finding her. Accompanied by his guide, he ventures deep into the Senegalese bush on a journey that reveals not only the savagery of the French colonial occupation but also the unlikely transports of the human heart. Written with sensitivity and narrative flair, David Diop’s Beyond the Door of No Return is a love story like few others. Drawing on the richness and lyricism of Senegal’s oral traditions, Diop has constructed a historical epic of the highest order.
