«Le chemin des neuf mondes» is Eric Julien's essay on the Kogi indigenous people of Colombia, published by Albin Michel in paperback (288 pages, in French).
In 1985, geographer and mountaineer Eric Julien suffered pulmonary edema during an expedition in the mountains of Colombia and was saved by the Kogi, an indigenous people heir to pre-Columbian cultures. Years later he returned to help them recover their ancestral lands and, in return, received their philosophy, which reveals an intimate knowledge of ecosystems.
Published in 2001, it belongs to the Essais clés collection. In 1997, Julien founded the association Tchendukua, which buys land in Colombia to return it to the Kogi.
For readers interested in philosophy, indigenous worldviews and stories of encounters with other cultures.
