Antonia, nata in un piccolo paese dell'entroterra còrso, cresce in un contesto di forti tradizioni e solidi legami familiari. La sua passione è la fotografia, passione che ha sviluppato fin da quando a quattordici anni lo zio prete, personaggio chiave della sua vita, le ha regalato la sua prima macchina fotografica. Comincia col fotografare la famiglia, i paesaggi, le amiche e gli amici al bar, in un paese in cui i ruoli maschili e femminili sono ben definiti, per certi aspetti addirittura a compartimenti stagni. E in effetti non c'è posto per le donne tra i militanti indipendentisti con passamontagna e fucile in cui, una volta diventati grandi, si sono trasformati gli amici d'infanzia. Antonia continua a fotografare, si trasferisce in città, viene assunta da un quotidiano locale per riprendere sagre paesane e gare di bocce, ma il suo sogno è diventare reporter di guerra: una guerra vera, però, e non l'insulso conflitto che si combatte in Corsica tra l'amministrazione francese e le varie fazioni di indipendentisti, peraltro in lotta fra loro, anche se i morti non mancano. Ci riuscirà?

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. From Goncourt Prize-winning author Jérôme Ferrari, a bewitching story of passion, death, and love, and a powerful reflection on the ambiguous relationship between art and reality Born in a small town in Corsican countryside, Antonia grows up in a place of deeply-rooted traditions and strong family ties. When she's fourteen, her uncle, a priest, gives her a camera--suddenly changing the way she looks at the world and igniting a passion that will prompt her to become a photojournalist. Over two decades later, Antonia is walking around the port of Calvi when she runs into Dragan, a soldier whom she had met when she was reporting on the war in the former Yugoslavia. The two spend the entire night in deep conversation, reminiscing about their experience of the conflict. Shortly after saying goodbye, as she drives home Antonia loses control of her car, plunges off a cliff and is killed instantly. Tasked with officiating his niece's funeral, Antonia's uncle is forced to reflect on her life and legacy, and on the profound questions they beg about ambition and doubt, passion and guilt, representation and reality. Wide in scope but rich in detail, restrained yet deeply moving, In His Own Image masterly weaves together the story of an individual life with universal themes that resonate across time and space.
