description A great admirer of the writings of Flaubert and Julien Gracq (Laplace-Treyture, 2014), the works of geographer Armand Frémont are characterised as much by their innovative nature as by the remarkable quality of their writing. First a university lecturer, then a senior civil servant in the Ministry of Education, his life and writings were strongly influenced by his eight-month stay in Algeria during the Algerian war. From this field experience, he published numerous texts, some of which were published before the end of the conflict. They are all the more valuable in that there are very few accounts by academics who were directly involved in the conflict as conscripts. The aim of our study is therefore to contribute to the rediscovery of all the “Algerian” writings that Armand Frémont drew from this highly unusual period in his life, and which are not limited to Algérie - El Djazaïr. Les carnets de guerre et de terrain d'un géographe published in 1982.
