Rights sold to Italy (Rizzoli), the Netherlands (De Bezige Bij) and Spain (DeBolsillo)
Louise is an experienced mountaineer, Ludovic a well-built young man. They’re not faint-hearted and give up their Paris apartment to set out on an adventure: travel the world together on their sailboat Jason. The island where they land to the south of the “roaring forties” captivates them with its wild beauty: snow-capped mountains, ice-filled craters, dry lakes. Only, there’s a little black cloud appearing on the horizon…
The storm hits and destroys everything, their boat disappears. They find themselves suddenly alone.
For only company they have penguins, sea lions, elephant seals and rats, and then there’s the old whaling station abandoned decades ago.
Their lovers’ adventure is turning into a nightmare. How will they survive in such a strange, alien environment? And for how long? How will they fight hunger and exhaustion?
And if they survive, how will they return to the human world? How will they describe the indescribable?
Isabelle Autissier is the first woman to have sailed solo around the world in competition. She has written novels, short stories and essays, including Kerguelen (Grasset, 2006), Seule la mer s’en souviendra (Grasset, 2009 ; Livre de poche, 2011), L’amant de Patagonie (Grasset 2012, Livre de poche, 2013), and with Erik Orsenna: Salut au Grand Sud (Stock, 2006) and Passer par le Nord, (Paulsen, 2014). She is chairwoman of WWF France.

extrêmes, où l’on frissonne pour ces deux Robinson
