Story
"Depuis que j'ai quitté le Liban pour m'installer en France, que de fois m'a-t-on demandé, avec les meilleures intentions du monde, si je me sentais plutôt français" ou "plutôt libanais". Je réponds invariablement : "L'un et l'autre !" Non par quelque souci d'équilibre ou d'équité, mais parce qu'en répondant différemment, je mentirais. Ce qui fait que je suis moi-même et pas un autre, c'est que je suis ainsi à la lisière de deux pays, de deux ou trois langues, de plusieurs traditions culturelles. C'est cela mon identité..."

"Mon oncle me disait : "Si une femme t'aimait, et si tu avais la présence d'esprit de mesurer l'étendue de ce privilège, aucune divinité ne t'arriverait à la cheville." Oran retenait son souffle en ce printemps 1962. La guerre engageait ses dernières folies. Je cherchais Emilie. J'avais peur pour elle. J'avais besoin d'elle. Je l'aimais et je revenais le lui prouver."

Story
Dans cet essai, Amin Maalouf, écrivain d'origine libanaise, élu à l'Académie française, propose une exploration d'une période bien connue en Occident, les Croisades, mais cette fois-ci du point de vue oriental. Depuis 1095 et durant près de deux siècles, les croisés occupent les villes et l'imaginaire des peuples de la Terre Sainte, dans des campagnes relevant à la fois de l'expansion militaire que de la mission divine, revendiquant les territoires sacrés tout en lynchant et pillant les territoires sur leur passage.

Story
Amin Maalouf, élu au 29e fauteuil de l'Académie française et successeur de Claude Lévi-Strauss, compose les portraits des dix-huit grands hommes qui l'ont précédé, à travers l'évocation de leur histoire publique et privée, et nous fait revivre ainsi quatre siècles d'histoire de la nation française. Créée en 1634, l'Académie française fut le théâtre où se jouent, encore aujourd'hui, les enjeux culturels et scientifiques qui constituent "L'Esprit français" : la chambre d'écho des métamorphoses de la société et du pouvoir.

Story
Dans les ruines brûlantes de la cité millénaire de Kaboul, la mort rôde, un turban noir autour du crâne. Ici, une lapidation de femme, là des exécutions publiques, les Talibans veillent. La joie et le rire sont suspects. Atiq, le courageux moudjahid reconverti en geôlier, traîne sa peine. Le goût de vivre a également abandonné Mohsen, qui rêvait de modernité. Son épouse Zunaira, avocate, plus belle que le ciel, est désormais condamnée à l'obscurité grillagée du tchadri. Alors Kaboul, que la folie guette, n'a plus d'autres histoires à offrir que des tragédies.

En 2018, Diégane Latyr Faye, jeune écrivain sénégalais, découvre à Paris un livre mythique, paru en 1938 : Le Labyrinthe de l'inhumain. On a perdu la trace de son auteur, qualifié en son temps de "Rimbaud nègre", depuis le scandale que déclencha la parution de son texte. Diégane s'engage alors, fasciné, sur la piste du mystérieux T.C. Elimane, où il affronte les grandes tragédies que sont le colonialisme ou la Shoah. Du Sénégal à la France en passant par l'Argentine, quelle vérité l'attend au centre de ce labyrinthe ?

Story
Il se faisait appeler Turambo, du nom du village misérable où il était né, dans l'Algérie des années 1920. Il avait pour lui sa candeur désarmante et un direct du gauche foudroyant. Il fréquenta le monde des occidentaux, connut la gloire, l'argent et la fièvre des rings, pourtant aucun trophée ne faisait frémir son âme mieux que le regard d'une femme. De Nora à Louise, d'Aïda à Irène, il cherchait un sens à sa vie. Mais dans un monde où la cupidité et le prestige règnent en maîtres absolus, l'amour se met parfois en grand danger.

Au travers de photos et de souvenirs laissés par les événements, les mots et les choses, Annie Ernaux nous fait ressentir le passage des années, de l'après-guerre à aujourd'hui. En même temps, elle inscrit l'existence dans une forme nouvelle d'autobiographie, impersonnelle et collective. Marina Moncade est la voix sensible et délicate d'Annie Ernaux qui regarde en elle-même pour retrouver le monde, la mémoire et l'imaginaire des jours passés.

Cette "Brève histoire de l'humanité" déroule notre histoire globale, des premiers hominidés à aujourd'hui et interroge l'avenir qui nous attend. Comment l'"Homo Sapiens" a-t-il réussi à dominer la Terre ? Quelle singularité nous a permis de s'unir pour créer villes et empires, l'idée de religion, les concepts politiques de nation ou plus récemment des droits de l'homme ? Pourquoi cette dépendance et cette croyance que notre bonheur dépend de l'argent et de la possibilité de consommer ?

Story
Cette œuvre est à la fois roman, histoire et poésie. En imaginant les Mémoires d'un grand empereur romain, l'auteur a voulu "refaire du dedans ce que les archéologues du XIXe siècle ont fait du dehors". Jugeant sans complaisance sa vie d'homme et son œuvre politique, Hadrien n'ignore pas que Rome finira un jour par périr, mais son réalisme romain et son humanisme hérité des Grecs lui font sentir l'importance de penser et de servir jusqu'au bout.

"18 juillet. Hier à midi, sur la plage de Tipaza, un employé de bureau dénommé Meursault, demeurant rue Bab-Azoun à Alger, a tué de cinq balles de revolver un Arabe non encore identifié. Les motifs du crime restent inconnus. Arrêté, Meursault a été transféré à la prison d'Alger." Jugé, reconnu coupable de meurtre avec préméditation, condamné à mort et exécuté, on ne saura jamais pourquoi Meursault a tué. Il assiste à son procès comme si c'était un autre qu'on jugeait. Une profonde réflexion sur l'être et la vie.

Publisher's summary
Il faut prêter attention aux analyses d'Amin Maalouf : ses intuitions se révèlent des prédictions, tant il semble avoir la prescience des grands bouleversements de l'Histoire. Il s'inquiétait il y a vingt ans de la montée des "identités meurtrières" ; il y a dix ans du "dérèglement du monde". Il nous explique aujourd'hui pourquoi toutes les aires de civilisation sont menacées de naufrage.
Depuis plus d'un demi-siècle, l'auteur observe le monde, et le parcourt. Il était à Saigon à la fin de la guerre du Vietnam, à Téhéran lors de l'avènement de la République islamique. Dans ce livre puissant et ample, il fait œuvre de spectateur engagé et de penseur, mêlant récits et réflexions, racontant parfois des événements majeurs dont il s'est trouvé être l'un des rares témoins oculaires, puis s'élevant en historien au-dessus de sa propre expérience afin de nous expliquer par quelles dérives successives l'humanité est passée pour se retrouver ainsi au seuil du désastre. Un sursaut s'impose, conclut-il. Le paquebot des hommes ne peut continuer à naviguer ainsi vers sa perte.
Critic reviews
La presse en parle :
"Au-delà de l'analyse magistrale de la crise existentielle actuelle, Le Naufrage des civilisations, roman de la marche de l'Histoire, nous rappelle que les rêves, plus tenaces que les ronces, finissent toujours par soulever la dalle de la nuit."

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.

Story
On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

Story
The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.
