Content : A book of symbiosis between drawing and writing, which recounts a six-month initiatory and “stunning” journey in South India.

THE initiatory journey: Simon travelled 6 months in South India with his backpack. The author reveals in this book his great talent as a traveling writer.
In this illustrated travel book, readers will find the author’s travel philosophy, his sense of humour, his empathy for people and his drawer label. Simon expresses India’s profusion with a reduced material: sepia inks, feather and brushes.

It is also a benevolent portrait, without pulling any punches.
A portrait that does not only show the good things sold to tourists.
And there is always the ecological aspect dear to the author and to the publisher.

Winner of the literary award of the "Curieux voyageurs" festival in 2021.
