Bérengère Cournut, the writer who intends to whisper the earth
Atypical author passionate about science, Bérengère Cournut recounts all the magic of existence in osmosis with the elements.Whether his heroes are hopis, inits or inspired by a geographer as in her latest novel “Élise sur les Chemins”.
Isidore, 3 months, third boy of his mother Bérengère, wisely attends the interview, between the stroller and the breast.Although infinitely peaceful, the painting is connected to the romantic work of the mother, which probes the violence and the magnificence of all the coming to the world, to the four corners of the globe and the space-time.
