A mid-May like no other. Not only because of the almost scorching weather that has been raging for several days now, flirting with 50 degrees in the sun, but also because of the rigorous confinement imposed on the entire population following the devastating outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. . A double reason not to set foot outside your home, especially when you are comfortably installed in a cozy resort, immersed in the beauty of nature and the peace of mind. And then boom! The ringing of the telephone snatches you from this bliss to announce a large format catastrophe: a gigantic fire has broken out in one of the main paper goods manufacturing companies in the country. Stakes: several tens of billions of millimes which, following a false maneuver in the conduct of the investigation following the disaster, might go up in smoke! A man of the field as much as of files, without wasting a minute and without worrying regarding the climatic or health situation (in the case of security also), the insurer jumps into his car, accelerator crushed to the floor, and rushes towards the scene of the drama located some 500 km from his current residence. This involves following the progress of the investigation as closely as possible, from its initiation to its conclusion.

This might be the start of a novel. It’s the fault of Moncef Felli, an insurer-advisor who insisted on adopting a narrative style to report on one of the biggest cases of his already very long professional career. He made it into an almost romantic story that we swallow almost like a thriller. Not that he “embroidered” to dress his story with thrills, twists and turns and suspense, but by being attentive to the setting, the atmosphere, the reactions and the motivations of the various actors at all stages of the story. evolution of the situation. It is his way of “integrating” the reader into his professional logic, the pretext to introduce him smoothly into the mysteries of a profession that at first seems daunting.

The subject is a plea for protection once morest the hazards of life through insurance, more particularly fire insurance, perceived by many as an expensive burden on which there is reason to skimp. The work is also a sort of manual for use by customers (but it is also of interest to insurance technicians) to educate them on the advantages of a well-designed contract and how to monitor it. All through his account of an event that he experienced from start to finish and in the light of an experience almost half a century old.
