"Un conte libanais narrant une légende du 19e siècle : le jeune Tanios a des doutes sur ses origines. Son père est-il le cheikh, petit potentat chrétien, ou son intendant, père putatif ? Un humour malicieux, de nombreux personnages, des intrigues à rebondissements avec, en toile de fond, une page historique peu connue."

"Merveilleux conteur, Amin Maalouf avait conquis le public avec un premier livre au personnage resté depuis, dans les mémoires, celui du très beau Léon l'Africain. Avec Le Rocher de Tanios, il remporte le prix Goncourt de 1993 et signe un autre fabuleux récit dans lequel il nous présente Tanios, jeune homme aux cheveux déjà blanchis qui deviendra, fatalité ou hasard, héros d'une étrange légende. Le roman s'ouvre d'ailleurs sur la curieuse coutume d'un pays, aux confins de l'Orient chrétien, qui consiste à baptiser tous les rochers de l'endroit puis, selon la forme qu'ils revêtent, ils seront "Tête de l'ours" ou "Vaisseau." Un seul pourtant portera le prénom d'un homme. "Le destin passe et repasse à travers nous, comme l'aiguille du cordonnier à travers le cuir qu'il façonne." Pour Tanios, le destin se marque d'abord dans le mystère qui entoure sa naissance : fils de la trop belle Lamia, des murmures courent le pays sur l'identité de son vrai père ..."
"Tanios, de hoofdpersoon uit het boek, is een mysterieuze figuur, die zijn dorp steeds opnieuw ongeluk brengt. Hij is de zoon van Lamia en Gerios en zijn vader is intendant van de sjeik. Het gerucht gaat dat niet Gerios, maar de sjeik zijn verwekker is. Als Tanios deze roddel ter ore komt, keert hij zich tegen zijn vader, de sjeik en het hele dorp. Hij sluit vriendschap met Roukoz, de voormalige intendant, die na zijn verbanning wegens oplichting als rijk man is teruggekeerd. Tanios is overgeleverd aan het lot, net zoals in Griekse tragedies. Hij veroorzaakt een oorlog tussen de christenen van zijn dorp en een naburige Druzengemeenschap, waarna hij spoorloos verdwijnt. De kiem van de oorlog, die Libanon nog zo lang zal teisteren, is daarmee gelegd. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie."
