Abstract

Through his books, Amin Maalouf sends us on a long journey from the Maghreb to Mashriq, from Granada to Rome, and to the limits of ancient Persia and Samarcanda. The more we penetrate these dream lands, the better we understand history and all the people in exile attempting to define their identity. The awards and recognition that have been heaped on Maalouf are not exempt of controversy, raised by his highly individual way of defining francophonie (2009), his last essay (Le Dérèglement du monde, 2010) and his definition of identity "between two countries, two or three languages, several cultural traditions". Reading his work can lead to discovering the depth and coherence of his thought.
