The action begins in Kolwezi, a city which was built on the exploitation of copper and cobalt mines in particular. In Le champ de Dieu, Olivier Kalal portrays a young man who dreams of getting rich in this sector. Time, encounters and experience will enable him to understand that if the country’s mining resources are one day destined to run out, the field of knowledge remains infinite. This is the reading advice of Alpha Ramazani, founder of the Book Express bookstore in Kinshasa in La vie ici.
