Welcome to Litsy!

Two biographies alternate from chapter to chapter. In the 19th century, Flora Tristan, one of the founders of feminism and grandmother of famous painter Paul Gaugain, is fighting for the rights of women and workers. Paul Gaugain discovers his passion for painting and abandons a middle class life in Paris to live in Tahiti, in search for inspiration and creativity in a world still not contamined by Western conceptions.

Where is heaven? Where does the man look for him? And find it? Paradise is always elsewhere.....

" Your mind was a forge, a vortix unable to hold back an idea, an image, a memory for the time necessary to understand and taste them".
