Beschreibung
A big, exquisite novel about friendship, betrayal, nostalgia, ideals, politics, and the world as it isOne night, a phone rings in Paris. Adam learns that Mourad, once his closest friend, is dying. He quickly throws some clothes in a suitcase and takes the first flight out, to the homeland he fled twenty-five years ago. Exiled in France, Adam has been leading a peaceful life as a respected historian, but back among the milk-white mountains of the East his past soon catches up with him. His childhood friends have all taken different paths in life-and some now have blood on their hands. Loyalty, identity, and the clash of cultures and beliefs are at the core of this long-awaited novel by the French-Lebanese literary giant Amin Maalouf."There are novels which reverberate long after you've finished reading them. Amin Maalouf's The Disoriented is such a novel. This is a unique voyage between the Orient and the West, and the past and the present."Le Figaro"Amin Maalouf gives us a perfect look at the thoughts and feelings that can lead to emigration. One can only be impressed by the magnitude and the precision of his introspection."Le Monde des Livres von Maalouf, Amin und Wynne, Frank
