La gente que sueña: Tres hombres. épocas. Un mismo deseo

A young cyclist pedals along the gloomy roads of the Normandy countryside. He is fifteen years old and does not yet think about becoming a professional or competing in the Tour de France: he just enjoys the moment, the effort, and nature. Fifty years earlier, a boy raised on a farm gazes at the starry sky on a summer night, his heart full of dreams. And in the 16th century, a humanist leans over his desk by the fire, filling manuscripts with words that will mark his destiny. Three men. Three eras. Three destinies. Separated by centuries, they are intertwined in the same place: the domain of La Boderie, in Norman Switzerland. A refuge of innocence, simplicity, and fleeting happiness. But time and trials will drag them away from that paradise. Will they be able to find their way back to their first dreams? People Who Dream is Guillaume Martin-Guyonnet's most personal book. The French professional cyclist and philosopher returns with this book after the success of his two previous essays: Socrates on a Bicycle and The Peloton Society. With delicate and tender prose, he weaves together eras, vocations, and destinies to pose an intimate and universal question: what if, like children, it were enough to know how to dream?
