These nineteen texts are written from the bottom of a jail. Poignant and remarkably mastered, these back and forth between reflections and sensations express the dull daily life of the prisoner, torn between the assessment of his life and his actions, and the icy void of an absent future. But little by little, courage returns to him, and despite the desperate conditions, he begins to write again. An exemplary book of resistance.
