Sylvie and Édouard Glissant's intention was not to add hypotheses to those many that have attempted to pierce the mystery of Easter island. They wanted to touch imaginatively the stirring of a place that is both primordial and yet so contemporary, tormented and yet liberated, solitary and yet not alone, whose population, descended from a unique and legendary stock, today enjoys a peaceful existence based on its very diversity and its relationship with the world.

Autorenporträt
Poet, philosopher and writer, Édouard Glissant (1928-2011) introduced the notion of antillanité as a way of reconsidering the world as archipelago. A Martinican thinker of the creolization of cultures and the poetics of relation, his multi-faceted oeuvre moves between the essay (Faulkner, Mississippi), poetry (The Indies), fiction (The Fourth Century) and theatre (Monsieur Toussaint). In 1958, he was awarded the Prix Renaudot for The Ripening. Édouard Glissant taught in the United States at Louisiana State University and at the City University in New York. In 2006, he founded the Institut du Tout-Monde in Paris.
