Le labyrinthe des égarés - L’Occident et ses adversaires - Amin Maalouf
Out of stock
A devastating war has just broken out in the heart of Europe, pitting the West against China and Russia. A major upheaval is underway, calling into question the very foundations of our civilization. Everyone is aware of it, but no one has yet given this crisis the depth of coverage it deserves. Amin Maalouf retraces the itinerary of four great nations: Japan in the Meiji era, the first Asian country to challenge the supremacy of the “white” nations, and whose rapid modernization fascinated the whole of humanity; Soviet Russia, a formidable threat to the West for three quarters of a century, before collapsing; China, the main challenge to Western hegemony in the 21st century; and finally the United States, which has become the world's leading superpower in the course of several wars. An indispensable compass for anyone wishing to understand the major issues of the contemporary world and the strange paradoxes of our times.
Une guerre dévastatrice vient d’éclater au cœur de l’Europe, un bras de fer opposant l’Occident à la Chine et à la Russie. Un bouleversement majeur est en train de se produire, qui remet en cause les fondements mêmes de notre civilisation. Chacun en a conscience, mais nul n’a encore donné à cette crise la profondeur de champ qu’elle mérite. Amin Maalouf retrace ici l’itinéraire de quatre grandes nations : le Japon de l’ère Meiji, premier pays d’Asie à défier la suprématie des nations « blanches », et dont la modernisation accélérée fascina l’humanité entière ; la Russie soviétique, formidable menace pour l’Occident pendant trois quarts de siècle, avant de s’effondrer ; la Chine, principal défi à l’hégémonie de l’Occident en ce vingt et unième siècle ; enfin les États-Unis, devenus, au fil des guerres, la première superpuissance planétaire. Une boussole indispensable à qui veut comprendre les grands enjeux du monde contemporain et les étranges paradoxes de notre temps.

FAQ
Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!
Are the books New?
Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.
What defines the prices of the books?
As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.
