199784659Brepols 1997 80 pages 25x21x1cm. 1997. Broché. 80 pages. Ils s'étaient connus en 1944 à leur sortie de l'ombre... L'un paysan communiste autodidacte d'esprit missionnaire s'engageait dans le militantisme syndical et politique l'autre étudiant frustré de sa course aux diplômes s'élançait dans le journalisme de témoignage comme correspondant de guerre. Durant 40 ans ils se retrouvèrent ainsi aux quatre coins du monde le premier à la pointe des hautes affaires de l'agro-alimentaire le second à l'avant-scène du grand reportage. Et fidèles à leurs origines ils revenaient se replonger ensemble avec délices dans la fraîcheur intacte de leur première rencontre. Mais brutalement à la sortie d'un hiver -cinq autres déjà- sonna l'heure de la dernière... Et le paysan dit à l'étudiant : Si les médecins ne se sont pas trompés qui m'accordent de six mois à un an de vie je viendrai chez toi dans les Pyrénées en mai et nous finirons de parler tous les deux sur ta terrasse face aux sommets... Neuf jours après hélas il s'en allait... Alors surmontant sa peine et ses scrupules et avec l'appui de témoins de tous bords humbles ou grands l'étudiant s'est décidé à combler ce mou de conversation. Car il connaissait le désir profond du Gavroche de Noé qui avait relevé l'extravagant défi de jouer au milliardaire rouge : Je compte sur toi pour que l'on sache un jour qui j'étais vraiment... La révélation dans toute la rigueur de l'amitié est bouleversante
