quarante-cinq ans, le 18 août 2000, de Montréal. Il est rentré chez lui le 16 octobre 2011 après avoir parcouru 75 543 km à travers 64 pays.

purity and darkness that he observed there. The diverse and evocative essays that make up "Mornings in Mexico" - "Market Day", "Dance of the Sprouting Corn", "The Hopi Snake Dance" - bring to life the elemental simplicity of the Zapotec Indians in Mexico.
