Extrait: "Cher ami, je comptais ne t'écrire que de ma première étape; mais l'inaction forcée o je suis me fait ouvrir, sans plus attendre, mon journal de route. Je le commence quand même, ne fût-ce que pour abréger les heures et pour me consoler avec cette petite lumière intérieure dont parle Jean-Paul, et qui nous empêche de voir et d'entendre le temps qu'il fait dehors."

Houari Boumediene a toujours suscité à la fois admiration et médisance.
