Dans Hasard et Volonté Henri Cestia vous propose un voyage qui vous mènera du XVIIème au XXème siècle, en Béarn, en Uruguay, en Louisiane, en Argentine et en Guadeloupe. En suivant le fil rouge de la généalogie du patronyme Cestia, l'auteur vous fera connaître des gens plus souvent pauvres que riches, qui ne sont ni princes, ni rois, mais des hommes et des femmes dont la vie ordinaire est faite de hasard et de volonté. Ce livre n'est pas un roman. Tout est vrai, Les documents d'archives sont disponibles sur le site de l'auteur. Ainsi par des récits de vies, dans une démarche de micro-histoire, Henri Cestia nous fait rencontrer l'Histoire. Dans la première édition le plan du livre était antéchronologique. Pour faciliter la lecture, le récit est maintenant chronologique et agrémenté de photos extraites de l'album familial. Un index des personnes citées est présent en fin d'ouvrage.
