  • "Echelles du Levant, cʹest le nom quʹon donnait autrefois à ce chapelet de cités marchandes par lesquelles les voyageurs dʹEurope accédaient à lʹOrient. Lieux de brassage, univers précaires que lʹHistoire avait lentement façonnés avant de les démolir. Le héros de ce roman, Ossyane, est lʹun de ces hommes au destin détourné. De lʹagonie de lʹEmpire Ottoman aux deux guerres mondiales et aux tragédies qui, aujourdʹhui encore, déchirent le Proche-Orient, sa vie ne pèsera guère plus quʹun brin de paille dans la tourmente. Patiemment, il se souvient et raconte... Les moments de ferveur, dʹhéroïsme et de rêve ; puis la descente aux enfers. Dépossédé de son avenir, de sa dignité, privé des joies les plus simples, que lui reste-t-il ? Un amour en attente. Un amour tranquille mais puissant. -- from http://www.amazon.fr (Sep. 28, 2011)."
  • "The Levant is the name given in the past to the string of the towns through which European travelers had access to the East. From Constantinople to Alexandria, via Smyrna, Adana or Beirut, these towns have long been places where languages, customs and beliefs met. The hero of this novel, Ossyane, is one of these men who destiny deviated. From the agony of the Ottoman Empire to the two world wars and tragedies which, even today, tear the Middle East, Ossyaneʹs life will weigh little more than a straw in the turmoil. Patiently, he remembers, he tells his princely childhood, his crazy grandmother, his rebellious father, his fallen brother, his stay in France under the Occupation, his encounter with Clara, their moments of devotion, heroism, and dream and then the descent into hell."
  • "To call your son Ossyane is like calling him Rebellion or Disobedience. When Ossyane's father gives him that name, it represents the protest of an aristocratic but liberal man against a history of sectarianism and violence that has characterized the world he inherited from his Ottoman ancestors. But his brilliant, dutiful son develops into a peaceable young man, and travels to France to study, away from the burden of his father's revolutionary ambitions. War breaks out in Europe, and Ossyane is drawn into the Resistance, where he meets Clara. He returns to Beirut, to a rebel hero's welcome after all, and to joyful marriage with Clara. The Jewish-Muslim couple move to Haifa, but if one war has made a hero out of Ossyane, another, much closer to home, is destined to separate him from the people and the world that he loves. In this novel, the first by Amin Maalouf to be set in the modern Middle East, the author's exceptional gift of narrative lends itself to a story that becomes a powerful allegory for the struggles and anarchy that have beset his native land for the last half-century. -- Description based on the English translation of the book from http://search.barnesandnoble.com (April 25, 2011)."

  • "L'histoire tumultueuse d'un homme né de père turc ottoman et de mère arménienne, exilés au Liban. Le héros "dont la vie a été détournée par les événements du Proche-Orient" (A. Maalouf). La critique a bien vu l'aspect métaphorique de ce roman: les épreuves du personnage principal, innocent puni, enfermé, drogué, renvoient à celle d'une région suppliciée, et comme l'affirme le romancier "marquée par la malédiction".
