Fin des années 1920. Contrairement à ses amis qui admirent les trains, Jean, fils d'un chef de gare, n'éprouve que du mépris pour l'univers du rail. Un soir de tempête, il aperçoit une lumière au loin. Bravant la neige pour découvrir d'où elle provient, il fait la connaissance d'Alphonse, le lampiste, qui lui explique son métier. Cette rencontre change sa vie et sa vision du monde ferroviaire. ©Electre 2024
Saturday April 2, 1927. John, a young schoolboy, is happy it's the holidays. He will finally be able to rest and read all day. But his friends have other ideas. Once again they take him with them to admire the passing locomotives, the shunting yard, the roundhouse... All of them are children of railwaymen and passionate about trains, except John.
One stormy evening, John sees a strange light dancing in the snow through his bedroom window. Intrigued, he decides to brave the cold and snow to unravel the mystery. Alfred, the lampman, is waiting for him. Around the fire, the old man tells the child about his job and the enchanted world of the trains of yesterday and today. Is John dreaming ? One thing is certain, this encounter will change his view of his family, his friends and the world around him.
Take the train and let yourself be carried away by this adventure full of magic and sweetness. And to find out more, a few important dates in the history of the Belgian railways and a glossary are included at the end of the book.
