Résumé

"behind each children's book, behind each bestseller, a sacred text is hidden. Stevenson's novel has been scrutinized, read and re-read a thousand times. it has been used as a model for a map that lead us in search of an island where a cave that represented the sky was located. and in that sky, the stars and planets were represented by diamonds, real diamonds. " both a prelude and a continuation to raul ruiz's film, treasure island, made in 1984, this text presents itself as the follow up, or rather, a pursuit of stevenson's novel. A formidable example of the way ruiz parodies the text and plunges the story inside the story, before losing the reader in a labyrinth of strange images.
