«La maison du retour» is Jean-Paul Kauffmann's memoir, published by Gallimard in paperback (288 pages, in French).
After three years of captivity in Lebanon, the narrator buys a house in the Landes forest to dispel the memory of confinement. With it he creates a strange bond of dependence that symbolises his return to the world of the living. Twenty years later, he evokes his captivity allusively, without self-indulgence or victimhood, and celebrates the pleasure of being alive.
