Cambodia is at war.
The majestic city of Angkor is under assault, a desecrated sanctuary, the
colossal statues strafed at point-blank range, the faces of stone pulverized by
mortar fire, leaving Buddha beheaded, heads with peaceful smiles rolling under
a hail of tracer bullets.
Breadline is an autobiographical novel by swiss author Alain Dizerens, originally published in French under the name "Casse-crôute". The author takes us from Geneva to the war in Vietnam, back to Switzerland and again abroad to Cameroon to chase lions in Africa. Romantic novel that will take you on a ride through emotions.

About the author
Throughout his life, Alain Dizerens has also worked in kabbutz (Israel) and Hong Kong among other places around the world. After a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and several decades of teaching, Alain Dizerens also presented a variety of "crosstalk kinetic" (dance, electro) performances in Geneva in 1986. He has written other books - Miroir-Temps and l'Arpenteur sidéral among many as well as published a number of photo e-books. Written with a poetic touch, his books quickly absorb the reader in a realistically magical universe, which at the same time never lacks a bit humour.
