Sur la Seine

"Sur la Seine" is an ode for the pondering, for the rivers generally and for the Seine in particular; an ode in the literature also.

Christophe Lefébure frequents the Seine for a long time. Seduced by his lights, he photographs her in all weathers and, inveterate reader, he digs up at the author's a written correspondence of his visual impressions. The result is this attractive sensitive book.

Photos are really magnificent and the chosen quotations tempt to plunge (or dip back) into the whole works.

Here is a beautiful portrait of the Seine, a little idealized doubtless, but by the very pleasant delicacy.
