Ce n'est pas pour autant qu'il voulait oublier...

Text

Source language: French

Ce n'est pas pour autant qu'il voulait oublier son passÃ©. Ce n'Ã©tait sÃ»rement pas Ã©vident pour lui de s'intÃ©grer. Continuer Ã vivre comme il en avait l'habitude, lui permettait donc de garder ses repÃ¨res. Ainsi, par le biais des journaux, il retrouvait, ne serait-ce qu'un peu, ses racines. Cela rÃ©vÃ¨le un sentiment de nostalgie Ã l'Ã©gard de son pays. Peut-Ãªtre aussi, avait-il besoin de sentir qu'il appartenait Ã une communautÃ© pour se rassurer.

This doesn't mean that he wanted to forget his past

Target language: English

This doesn't mean that he wanted to forget his past. It certainly wasn't easy for him to integrate. Continuing to live the way he was used to thus allowed him to keep his bearings. So, by means of the newspapers, he rediscovered, if only for a little, his roots. This betrays a feeling of nostalgia toward his country. Also maybe he needed to feel that he belonged to a community to feel at ease.
