Le fruit le plus rare ou la vie d'Edmond Albius
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

"Edmond est une mule qui s'accroche ferme à cette histoire de destin, de vanille qui commande sa vie. Non, ce n'est pas pour rien qu'il a découvert l'épice la plus rare du monde. Un avenir inattendu et singulier l'attend, lui a-t-on prédit. Il va bientôt être quelqu'un et sa découverte lui servira." Fils d'esclaves de La Réunion, Edmond a été recueilli nouveau-né par un botaniste amoureux des orchidées. Auprès de ce riche propriétaire européen, le petit enfant créole, vif et rusé, grandit en s'initiant à la magie des plantes. En 1841, le jeune prodige perce à douze ans le secret de la fleur de vanille. Mais une telle invention peut-elle réellement profiter à un homme noir et lui rendre sa liberté ? Avec humour et délicatesse, Gaëlle Bélem raconte l'histoire vraie de ce héros méconnu au destin extraordinaire.
