«La Montagne de l'âme» is the travel novel and literary fiction by Chinese writer Gao Xingjian, published by L'aube poche in paperback, in French.
Faced with a repressive cultural environment, Gao Xingjian left Beijing and travelled 15,000 kilometres through the mountains and forests of Sichuan. From that experience comes a novel that explores memory, identity and freedom, alternating the narrative persons «I», «you» and «he» in a pilgrimage in search of the sacred mountain.
The work was originally published in Chinese as «靈山» (Lingshan) in 1990; Gao Xingjian received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2000.
For readers of contemporary Chinese literature, literary fiction and travel narratives, with an interest in award-winning and introspective works.
Gao Xingjian is a Chinese émigré and later French naturalized novelist, playwright, critic, painter, photographer, film director, and translator who in 2000 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for an oeuvre of universal validity, bitter insights and linguistic ingenuity." He is also a noted translator, screenwriter, stage director, and a celebrated painter.
