Lecture : Lettres d'Alsace

Halfway between an essay and a personal account, Philippe Lutz's book offers a sensitive journey through Alsace, painting a portrait of both a region and a man.
Convinced that personal memory is often the most accurate gateway to collective history, Philippe Lutz will revisit the questions that guided the writing of this book and discuss the many themes he addresses, from the Vosges to the Ill, from dialect to gastronomy, from wars to traditions, from ecology to heritage, both tangible and intangible.

Philippe Lutz was a teacher and then director of the Sélestat media library. A graduate in classical literature and passionate about literature and photography, he is the author of a dozen books – novels, essays and travelogues – several of which have won literary awards.
