The reissue of "Cahier d'un retour au pays natal," Aimé Césaire's first work, has been recognized since its publication as the foundational work of the Négritude generation. In this powerful poem, my country and I now stand side by side, with the wind in our hair and my small hand clenched in its mighty fist. The power we feel comes not from within ourselves, but from above us, like a voice that penetrates the night and the public with the intensity of an apocalyptic wasp. This voice declares that Europe has filled us with lies and disasters for centuries. However, it is not true that human creativity is over, that we have nothing more to contribute or are merely parasites on the world. On the contrary, human work is only beginning, and there is still much to be conquered; no race has a monopoly on beauty, intelligence, or strength. There's room for everyone in the meeting of conquest, and now we know that the sun revolves around our earth and that every star falls at our limitless command. This poem is available to all language enthusiasts interested in French at level C2, ideal for educational purposes, intellectual development, and self-study.
