From L’Espace:
You are invited to the talk with writer Patrick Deville on the occasion of publishing his books titled “Longue vue” and “Yersin, Plague and Cholera” in Vietnamese.
Once again, the famous doctor and scientist Alexandre Yersin (1863 – 1943) is honored through “Yersin: cholera and plague” (Peste et Cholera) by Patrick Deville. With the background of Indochina in the early 20th century, Yersin is described with two major characters: passion for scientific research as well as discovering the unknown areas in Vietnam. In 2012, this book has won Femina award along with several French literature awards. Patrick Deville has published more than ten works, which have been translated into 12 languages. In 1988, “Longue vue” became his first success, and then came “Yersin, plague and cholera”.
