About this listen
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. De la querelle du Cid à la Révolution française, de la Commune de Paris à l'affaire Dreyfus ou la seconde guerre mondiale, c'est dans l'éternelle imbrication de l'histoire politique et culturelle française qu'Amin Maalouf nous entraîne avec talent.
À partir d'un simple fauteuil, lieu de mémoire fragile et chaleureux posé sur les bords de la Seine, Amin Maalouf nous fait voyager à travers les riches heures du passé de la France, la permanence de son "génie national", ainsi que ses constantes métamorphoses. Ce voyage "autour d'un fauteuil" dans l'histoire de l'esprit français, offre une magnifique vue cavalière sur ses évolutions et métamorphoses, merveilleusement servi par la lecture de Yann Collette.©2016 Éditions Grasset & Fesquelle (P)2016 Audiolib

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".

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 6
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.

"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..."

Parmi ceux-ci, une jeune éditrice découvre ce qu'elle estime être un chef-d'œuvre, écrit par un certain Henri Pick. Elle part à la recherche de l'écrivain et apprend qu'il est mort deux ans auparavant. Selon sa veuve, il n'a jamais lu un livre ni écrit autre chose que des listes de courses...

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

A good book may have the power to change the way we see the world, but a great book actually becomes part of our daily consciousness, pervading our thinking to the point that we take it for granted, and we forget how provocative and challenging its ideas once were - and still are. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is that kind of book.

Not, that is, until the spring of 2015, when biologist Jennifer Doudna called for a worldwide moratorium on the use of the new gene-editing tool CRISPR - a revolutionary new technology that she helped create - to make heritable changes in human embryos.
