Summary/Abstract: Prosper-Henri Devos (1889-1914), a writer of Belgian origin, is the author of Lettres de Galice, eight chronicles that recount the author's journey through Galician lands. At first, the article focuses on the analysis of the translation from French into Galician, the translation technique used and the translation problems encountered. Secondlly, the content of the work is analysed as a double exploration of identity, a journey of a bilateral nature. Galicia exists in the history of Devos and the writer's personality is revealed as the encounters take place, as the journey is recounted.
