Amin Maalouf s'interroge sur la notion d'identité, sur les passions qu'elle suscite, sur ses dérives meurtrières. Pourquoi est-il si difficile d'assumer en toute liberté ses diverses appartenances? Pourquoi faut-il, en cette fin de siècle, que l'affirmation de soi s'accompagne si souvent de la négation d'autrui ? Nos sociétés seront-elles indéfiniment soumises aux tensions, aux déchaînements de violence, pour la seule raison que les êtres qui s'y côtoient n'ont pas tous la même religion, la même couleur de peau, la même culture d'origine ? Y aurait-il une loi de la nature ou une loi de l'Histoire qui condamne les hommes à s'entretuer au nom de leur identité ? -- Description from http://www.evene.fr (Oct. 17, 2011).

Les identités meurtrières

Tanios Kayasi

Isik Bahceleri

In 1665, with prophecies and portents fortelling the forthcoming Apocalypse, Balthasar, an antiquarian merchant and sage, embarks on a perilous quest through the countries of the Mediterranean and beyond to find a rare book, entitled The Hundredth Name, that could hold the key to the world's salvation. By the author of The Rock of Tanios. Reprint.

Balthasar's Odyssey

A French entomologist, attending a symposium in Cairo, finds a cruious kind of bean being on a market stall. It is claimed the beans, derived from the scarab beetle, have magic powers; specifically the power to guarantee the brith of a male infant - and when the entomologist does some research in to the matter, discovering the incidence of female birth has become increasingly rare, he is left in no doubt that the world has entered intoa critical phase of its history. As this beloved daughter Beatrice approaches maturity, the entomologist and his partner question the validity of gender bias, and attempt to redress the growing imbalance before it reaches irreversible proportions. But in the poverty and famine of the South, where male children can mean the difference between survival and starvation, the popularity of the scarab beans is already taking devastating effect.
