Isabelle Famaro donne ici de remarquables pages, non dépourvues de poésie, qu'elle consacre à son arrière-grand-père Eugène Bassières. Premier ingénieur agronome guyanais, il a notamment été commissaire adjoint pour la Guyane à l'Exposition universelle de Paris en 1900, laquelle a accueilli 50 millions de visiteurs.Elle a choisi de faire entendre le récit de sa vie et de son oeuvre sous une forme originale, imaginant qu'au-delà du temps et des systèmes de valeur qui les séparent, son arrière-grand-père et elle-même se rencontrent pour la première fois. À cette occasion, ils conversent à propos de son enfance, de son engagement au service de la production et de l'aménagement de la Guyane, et parlent des épreuves qu'il a dû traverser dans le contexte colonial de la fin du 19ème et du début du 20ème siècle.Un hommage dûment documenté à ce bel homme, comme elle le présente dans son texte, chez qui elle admire l'imagination créatrice qu'il a volontiers mise au service de la Guyane.
