On the look out for encounters and faces, Maurice Pianzola rests his wandering eye of Alpine hiker on the adverturous or rebelling figures who make up the history of countries and wars. Rather than recount a plot, he positions himself at crossroads and traces ancestors, like the grandfather here, who, leaving his country does not turn and look back twice.
Maurice Pianzola (1917-2004) was a Swiss journalist and writer of Belgian origin.
