Summary
What is a life worth? Is your cycle completed when you die? Can a common and almost anonymous life resonate in this day, becoming the emblem of an era? In June 1957, during the Battle of Algiers, the mathematician and communist militant Maurice Audin was arrested by the French Army, accused of collaborating with the Algerian independence movement. He was 25 years old. Tortured to death, his body was never found. In 2014, the French government finally recognized that his disappearance, a case that shocked French society for decades, had not been an unsolved mystery, but rather a state murder. This book, halfway between the document and the literary exercise, does not deal with that death, but is the reconstruction, by way of an inventory in the purest Pereccan style, of the day-to-day life of a life that was prematurely cut off, an existence that the author investigates with the thoroughness of an archaeologist.
