Six Shorts 2017 - The finalists for the 2017 Sunday Times EFG Short Story Award

L'homme connaît sa muse : la neige est capricieuse et dangereuse. La nivologie n'est pas une science facile :
" Toi tu es un expert, lui disait amusé André Roch, le " père des avalanches ". Eh bien, expert, sois attentif, l'avalanche, elle, ne sait pas que tu es un expert ! " Pour tenter d'apprivoiser la neige, Richard Lambert l'a photographiée durant 26 ans, dans tous ses états : des centaines de clichés, saisis du Mercantour à l'Engadine, consacrent le givre, la glace, le vent,	les beautés éphémères de l'hiver et marient science et poésie.
