Maké, enfant issu d'un foyer polygame, grandit entre les cahiers de sa mère, enseignante et les savoirs traditionnels de son père, guérisseur. Très tôt, il trouve en l'école, un refuge et un moyen d'échapper aux limites de son environnement. De l'école du village aux internats loin-tains, puis de la capitale aux salles de classe les plus démunies, il franchit les étapes d'un parcours marqué par des sacrifices, des rencontres décisives et une foi inébranlable en le pouvoir de l'éduca-tion. Devenu enseignant, puis chercheur, il poursuit son chemin jusqu'en Nordélie où une nouvelle réalité pédagogique l'amène à repenser sa mission. Pourtant, malgré les succès et la reconnaissance, l'appel du pays natal le pousse à revenir pour contribuer à la transformation d'une école qu'il refuse de voir sombrer. Ce roman est une réflexion profonde sur la transmission, la résilience et la quête de dignité. L'auteur y dépeint les défis de l'édu-cation, les fractures sociales et les espoirs qui animent celles et ceux qui croient encore que les mots peuvent changer le monde.
Maké, a child from a polygamous household, grew up between the schoolbooks of his mother-a teacher-and the traditional wisdom of his father-a healer. From an early age, he found a refuge in school and a way to escape the limitations of his surroundings. From the village school to distant boarding schools, and from the capital to the most under-resourced classrooms, he navigated a path marked by sacrifice, pivotal encounters, and an unwavering belief in the power of education. After becoming a teacher and later a researcher, his journey took him to Nordélie, where a new educational reality prompted him to rethink his mission. Yet, despite his success and recognition, the call of his homeland drew him back to help transform a school system he refused to see collapse. This novel is a profound reflection on the passing on of knowledge, resilience, and the quest for dignity. The author portrays the challenges of education, social divides, and the hopes that drive those who still believe that words can change the world.
