Dans la rue, à Paris
Nicolas Bokov
Traduit par Maya Minoustchine
Langue d'origine : Russe

Nicolas Bokov has already written several books in both russian and french. After a degree in philosophy and social science, he was forced into exile because of his clandestine publishing activities in the USSR.
In 1982, in Germany, he went through two critical events: he realized that his daughter Marie would be handicapped for life, and he found Christian faith.
After a long stay in the Holy Land and Greece, he decided to live in France, where he experienced the difficult reality of being homeless in a foreign country.
This testimonial is marked with a modest humanism, sometimes even a slight irony. In a plain and sensible style, Nicolas Bokov describes himself and the people he meets in the street. He multiplies touching portraits of the hurried, indifferent or attentive locals and passers-by who stop and acknowledge his distressing situation.
One rarely comes across such a lucid and paradoxically hopeful account of the world of life on the fringes.
