Albert CAMUS L’exil et le royaume

Le car s’arrêta brusquement. Le chauffeur dit […] quelques mots dans cette langue qu’elle avait entendue toute sa vie sans jamais la comprendre. « Qu’est-ce que c’est ? » demanda Marcel. Le chauffeur, en français, cette fois, dit que le sable avait dû boucher le carburateur, et Marcel maudit encore ce pays. Le chauffeur rit de toutes ses dents et assura que ce n’était rien, qu’il allait déboucher le carburateur et qu’ensuite on s’en irait. Il ouvrit la portière, le vent froid s’engouffra dans la voiture, leur criblant aussitôt le visage de mille grains de sable. Tous les Arabes plongèrent le nez dans leurs burnous et se ramassèrent sur eux-mêmes. « Ferme la porte », hurla Marcel. Le chauffeur riait en revenant vers la portière. Posément, il prit quelques outils sous le tableau de bord, puis, miniscule dans la brume, disparut à nouveau vers l’avant, sans fermer la porte. Marcel soupirait. « Tu peux être sûre qu’il n’a jamais vu un moteur de sa vie. – Laisse ! » dit Janine. Soudain, elle sursauta. Sur le remblai, tout près du car, des formes drapées se tenaient immobiles. Sous le capuchon du burnous, et derrière un rempart de voiles, on ne voyait que leurs yeux. Muets, venus on ne sait d’où, ils regardaient les voyageurs. « Des bergers », dit Marcel.

According to the authorities, thieves allegedly entered Diana Widmaier-Picasso's home in the smart seventh arrondissement of the French capital at some time between Monday night and Tuesday morning and made off with some very precious booty. Police say there was no obvious sign of a break-in.
The director of the Picasso Museum in Paris, Anne Baldassari, said that several paintings and drawings were stolen. "It was a very large theft," she told Associated Press. […]
Paintings by Picasso, one of the most important artists of the twentieth century, normally fetch huge prices at auctions, and works by the Spanish artist appear three times on the list of the top ten most expensive paintings of all time. His most expensive painting to date has been "Boy With a Pipe," which was sold for $104 million in 2004. […]
