Between childhood memories, small marine myths, literary treasures, and aquatic fauna, Christophe Ono-dit-Biot offers us a fascinating love letter to the sea. « Everyone knows today how essential the sea is to us. Essential, even, to our survival. But do we realize that if the sea dies, it is also an imagination that dies? An immense reservoir of knowledge, but also of dreams, adventures, wonder, literature, works of art, and foundational experiences that have always allowed human beings to give shape to their desires for elsewhere, for renewal, for wisdom? It is this imagination that I want to share here, by telling the story of my inner sea through a few stories of water. These texts, I could have slipped into bottles entrusted to the waves. They sketch the contours of a personal and nomadic curiosity cabinet, the small aquatic museum I carry within me. May it give others additional reasons to love the sea. »
