{"product_id":"lenfant-multiple","title":"L'enfant multiple - Andrée Chedid","description":"\u003cp\u003eEverything was hurtling toward the cold, toward violence, toward death. Everything was hurtling toward summer, toward peace, toward life. Spinning and whirling endlessly, the Carousel continued its dance. The son of an Egyptian Muslim and a Lebanese Christian, the grandson of a troubadour, Omar-Jo is a happy child. But he lives in Beirut, where, in 1987, men are at war. One beautiful, sunny Sunday, right outside his front door... the explosion. Deafening, deadly, it takes more than his life. His parents. His arm. Yet the child who leaves Lebanon clings to hope and imagination. In Paris, he meets Maxime, the carnival worker at a merry-go-round worn down by time and its owner’s melancholy. Omar-Jo will then restore all their magic to the wooden horses, just as he will breathe into Maxime the strength needed for dreams and happiness, for youth and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTout courait vers le froid, vers la violence, vers la mort. Tout filait vers l'été, vers la paix, vers la vie. Tournant, tournoyant sans fin, le Manège poursuivait sa ronde. Fils d'un musulman d'Égypte et d'une chrétienne libanaise, petit-fils d'un troubadour, Omar-Jo est un enfant heureux. Mais il habite Beyrouth où, en 1987, les hommes se font la guerre. Un beau dimanche ensoleillé, devant la porte de sa maison... l'explosion. Assourdissante, meurtrière, elle lui arrache plus que la vie. Ses parents. Son bras. Pourtant, l'enfant qui quitte le Liban revendique l'espoir et l'imaginaire. À Paris, il rencontre Maxime, le forain au manège usé par le temps et la mélancolie de son propriétaire. Omar-Jo rendra alors toute leur magie aux chevaux de bois, comme il insufflera à Maxime la force nécessaire au rêve et au bonheur, à la jeunesse et à l'amour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eItem weight ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e162 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e13 x 1.1 x 20.5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Clotilde French Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52811725635695,"sku":"9782290366646","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/1814\/5135\/files\/12839093483003.jpg?v=1773611772","url":"https:\/\/clotildefrenchbookstore.com\/products\/lenfant-multiple","provider":"Clotilde French Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
