INLAND VOYAGE
\nQuentin Pruvost, Robert Louis Stevenson
\nAfterwords : Herv\u00e9 Leroy et Jean-Philippe Mailliez<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Inland Voyage<\/em><\/strong> is a work of openness, a quest into the unknown. It explores one of\nthe works of Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson<\/strong>, his short travelogue An Inland Voyage<\/em> written in 1878, which recounts with humor and modernity the canoe journey of Stevenson and his friend Walter Grindlay Simpson on the rivers and canals of the Sambre and the Oise from Anvers to Pontoise.<\/p>\n

The first pages of the book make us slide gently over the water, until we enter a world in balance between dream and reality. The images of photographer Quentin Pruvost<\/a>, following the footsteps of the writer, weave between light and shadow. They reveal astonishing characters, memories of past dreams and possible adventures within the landscapes, the abundant vegetation, the human constructions along the banks of the Sambre and the Oise.<\/p>\n

The reader is carried away by the current, carried away by dreams, suspended like a tightrope walker between the tangible and the invisible.<\/p>\n

In the middle of the book, dream time appears. The images of the rivers slide towards the tale<\/strong>. There are black and white photographs with silver strokes.<\/p>\n

In the third part, the reader discovers mysterious apparitions and pareidolia<\/strong> captured by Quentin Pruvost, as if he rubbed shoulders with Stevenson's creative spirit between dreams and the physical world. At the end of such journey, the reader, more sensitive to the signs sent through dreams, will perhaps have changed a little...<\/p>\n

Inland Voyage<\/em><\/strong> ends with two afterwords: one signed by the writer and journalist Herv\u00e9 Leroy<\/a> establishes a dialogue between the eye and the verb , the other written by the journalist Jean-Philippe Mailliez<\/a> takes us to the heart of the adventurous life of storyteller Stevenson.<\/p>\n
