Translation of: Naissance d'un pont.

From Maylis de Kerangal comes this story of a dozen men and women éngineers, designers, machinery operators, cable riggers áll employees of an international consortium charged with building a bridge somewhere in a mythical and fantastic California. Their collective effort to complete the megaproject recounts one of the oldest of human dramas, to domesticate ánd to radically transform óur world through built form, with all the dramatic tension it brings: a threatened strike, an environmental dispute, sabotage, accidents, career moves, and love affairs Œ́ Here generations and social classes cease to exist, and everyone and everything converges toward the bridge as metaphor, a cross-cultural impression of America today.
