Roman - Foundation - this is what Mailis de Cerangal called her most global book. The plot develops around the construction of the bridge, which should connect the small city with the metropolis. The mysterious city, like Noah's ark, accepts representatives of different nations, burdened with different cultural traditions, but they are all involved in a common cause and in common life. The construction of the bridge becomes the construction of the universe...

the language of the novel is unique, and it is difficult for him to find an analogue in French literature. This is a material, figurative, tactile prose, in which the feelings of heroes are as interesting as their sensations, and the narrator’s intonation, despite tension, gives the second wind to the novel genre and opens new creative horizons.
