DISCOVERY AND LOSS UNDER THE MICROSCOPE
2014
Overview
While two world wars cast their long shadow over the novel, [Alexandre Yersin] is a creature of a different time. He belongs to the 19th century, a century of \"dreams of infinite progress\": dreams which play out over his lifetime on two frontiers - in the science of microbiology, and the more sinister march of European colonialism. While [PATRICK DEVILLE] does not shy from the romance of Yersin's colonial adventures, our narrator knows only too well how bloody the end of the age of discovery will be, for Europe and the countries she has enslaved. By the end, we do not know whether to celebrate or mourn the life of Yersin and the age he represents.
