Ürün Tanıtımı

Agraceful story of love across an insuperable gulf and a powerful allegory forthe conflict that has beset the Middle East for the last half century.

Tocall your son Ossyane is like calling him Rebellion. For Ossyane's father it isa gesture of protest by an exiled Ottoman prince, for Ossyane himself it is aburdensome responsibility. At eighteen he leaves Beirut to study in Montpellier, far away from hisfather's revolutionary aspirations for him. But it is 1938, and when war breaksout in Europe, Ossyane is drawn into the Resistance. His return to Beirut is arebel hero's welcome after all, and a joyful reunion with Clara, whom he firstmet in France. But if one war has brought the Jewish-Muslim couple together,another, much closer to home, is destined to separate Ossyane from the peopleand the world that he loves.

'Abeautiful work of fiction'

-Pierre Robert Leclercq, Le Mende

'Maalouf'snovels recreate the thrill of childhood reading, that primitive mixture oflearning about something unknown or unimagined and forgetting utterly aboutoneself. His is a voice which Europe cannot afford to ingore.'

-Claire Messud, Guardian
