C’est, depuis la constitution de la république, en 1972, que la traduction littérale la plus juste de « Sri Lanka » serait « île resplendissante ». À l’extrême sud-est de l’Inde, séparée par l’exigu détroit de Palk, elle ressemble à une boucle d’oreille accrochée au lobe indien, une comparaison adéquate du fait de la richesse en pierres précieuses de l’ancienne Ceylan.

Cette île dont l’histoire culturelle est aussi importante que passionnante, se caractérise par son abondante végétation, la beauté de ses plages bordées de cocotiers et ses nombreuses ressources minérales et végétales.

Sa situation d’insularité en a fait à la fois un refuge pour différents éléments de la culture indienne (le bouddhisme originel et les langues cinghalaise et tamoule préservées) et un pays ouvert sur le monde extérieur. Du fait de sa position géographique dans l’océan Indien, Sri Lanka a été pendant des siècles un lieu de passage incontournable entre l’Occident et l’Extrême-Orient. Et donc l’un des pays les plus métissés de l’Asie.

C’est un pays paradoxal. Sa population est sociable et hospitalière mais l’île a une autre facette : la tentation d’un repli identitaire de certains groupes sociaux. La guerre civile qui s’est achevée en 2009 après vingt-six ans d’affrontements entre Cinghalais et Tamouls et les heurts entre bouddhistes et musulmans au début du printemps 2018, ainsi que la crise politique et économique majeure à l’été 2022, montrent que l’histoire de Sri Lanka n’est pas un long fleuve tranquille.

Pétanque is a friendly game of skill played outdoors on a gravel or sandy surface. Players, in teams, throw metal balls toward a small wooden target ball called the “cochonnet,” aiming to get as close to it as possible. Each throw requires precision and strategy, whether gently placing a ball or shooting to move an opponent’s. Easy to learn and suitable for all ages, pétanque encourages social interaction, relaxation, and a sense of camaraderie. It’s a simple, welcoming activity that brings people together and helps strengthen community bonds.

Bingo is a simple and friendly game where participants have a card filled with numbers. A caller randomly draws numbered balls, and players mark the matching numbers on their cards. The goal is to be the first to complete a line, a column, or a full card depending on the announced rule, then claim victory by calling out “Bingo.” Easy to follow and enjoyable for all ages, this game creates a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

Paris, été 1891, Armand Roulin est chargé par son père, le facteur Joseph Roulin, de remettre en mains propres une lettre au frère de Vincent van Gogh, Theo. En effet, la nouvelle du suicide du peintre vient de tomber. Armand, peu enchanté par l'amitié entre son père et l'artiste, n'est pas franchement ravi par sa mission. À Paris, le frère de Van Gogh est introuvable. Le jeune homme apprend alors par Père Tanguy, le marchand de couleurs du peintre, que Theo, visiblement anéanti par la disparition de son frère aîné, ne lui a survécu que quelques mois. Comprenant qu'il a sans doute mal jugé Vincent, Armand se rend à Auvers-sur-Oise, où le peintre a passé ses derniers mois, pour essayer de comprendre son geste désespéré. En interrogeant ceux qui ont connu l'artiste, il découvre combien sa vie a été surprenante et passionnée. Et que sa vie conserve une grande part de mystère.

On July 27, 1890, a gaunt figure stumbled down a drowsy high street at twilight in the small French country town of Auvers. The man was carrying nothing; his hands clasped to a fresh bullet wound leaking blood from his belly. This was Vincent van Gogh, then a little known artist; now the most famous artist in the world. His tragic death has long been known, what has remained a mystery is how and why he came to be shot. Loving Vincent tells that story.
