    Récit

    The story unfolds in a remote Swiss Alpine village where a catastrophic rockslide devastates the landscape and the lives of its inhabitants. The narrative centers on Antoine, a young shepherd who is presumed dead after being buried under the rubble. Miraculously, he survives and returns to the village, but his reappearance stirs a mix of disbelief, joy, and tension among the villagers. The novel explores themes of human resilience, the power of nature, and the profound impact of such a disaster on a close-knit community.
