Baghdad without a Map 1991 est un r\u00e9cit de voyage de Tony Horwitz, journaliste am\u00e9ricain qui parcourt le Moyen-Orient et le monde arabe avec humour et esprit. Publi\u00e9 chez Dutton, ce livre d'occasion propose une lecture vive et document\u00e9e sur une r\u00e9gion souvent mal comprise.<\/p>\n
With razor-sharp wit and insight, intrepid journalist Tony Horwitz gets beyond solemn newspaper headlines and romantic myths of Arabia to offer startling close-ups of a volatile region few Westerners understand. His quest for hot stories takes him from the tribal wilds of Yemen to the shell-pocked shores of Lebanon; from the malarial sands of the Sudan to the eerie souks of Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, a land so secretive that even street maps and weather reports are banned.<\/p>\n
As an oasis in the Empty Quarter, a veiled woman offers tea and a mysterious declaration of love. In Cairo, “politeness police” patrol seedy nightclubs to ensure that belly dancers don’t show any belly. And at the Ayatollah’s funeral in Tehran a mourner chants, “Death to America,” then confesses to the author his secret dream–to visit Disneyland.<\/p>\n
Careening through thirteen Muslim countries and Israel, Horwitz travels light, packing a keen eye, a wicked sense of humor, and chutzpah in almost suicidal measure. This wild and comic tale of Middle East misadventure reveals a fascinating world in which the ancient and the modern collide.<\/p>\n
Dans Baghdad without a Map, Tony Horwitz, journaliste intr\u00e9pide, d\u00e9passe les gros titres des journaux et les mythes romantiques sur l'Arabie pour offrir des portraits saisissants d'une r\u00e9gion volatile. Sa qu\u00eate de reportages le m\u00e8ne des zones tribales du Y\u00e9men aux rivages du Liban, des sables du Soudan aux souks inqui\u00e9tants de l'Irak de Saddam Hussein, o\u00f9 cartes routi\u00e8res et bulletins m\u00e9t\u00e9o sont interdits. Il traverse treize pays musulmans et Isra\u00ebl, avec un sens aigu de l'observation, un humour mordant et beaucoup d'audace. Entre une femme voil\u00e9e offrant du th\u00e9 dans une oasis et des \u00ab policiers de la politesse \u00bb au Caire, ce r\u00e9cit comique de m\u00e9saventures au Moyen-Orient r\u00e9v\u00e8le un monde o\u00f9 l'ancien et le moderne se heurtent.<\/p>\n
