Amin Maalouf

Que peut-il arriver lorsque des sortiléges millénaires se conjuguent une science moderne aussi performante que dépourvue d'éthique ? Au départ. il y avait de mystérieuses féves, réputées favoriser les naissances de garcons, trouvées par le narrateur sur un marché égyptien. Puis ce fut la rarefaction, un peu partout, des naissances féminines. Commenqa alors l'épopée d'un homme passionnément attaché å la « féminité du monde »… Le romancier de _Samarcande_ (prix des Maisons de la Presse 1988), des _Jardins de lumiére_, prix Goncourt 1993 pour _Le Rocher de Tanios_, nous conte ici avec tendresse et humour une fable sur la folie des hommes.

In 1994, a missile mysteriously disappears off the coast of Florida during military testing. While investigating the link between the disappearance and some unusual whale sightings, journalist Carol Dawson finds much more-an enigmatic artifact that may not be of earthly origin. The artifact may be worth millions-and Dawson and her colleagues must outwit thieves and criminals to keep it safe. But the artifact leads to another, bigger discovery deep beneath the ocean's surface-a discovery that could change the face of humanity forever.
