Privé de désert
Marîd Audran, détective privé " câblé ", entame sa traversée du désert. Naguère sans le sou mais libre dans le dédale du Boudayin, ce ghetto arabe d''une Terre future balkanisée, le voilà devenu flic côté jour et, côté nuit, bras droit du " parrain " local, " Papa " Friedlander bey. Résultat : bonjour l''opulence... mais adieu à l''indépendance... et les vieux amis du Boudayin. Et puis voilà Marîd désormais affublé d''une vieille maman pas très présentable : un souci de plus pour qui a déjà fort à faire entre les meurtres sadiques, les trafics d''enfants et de modules électroniques, et les manœuvres suspectes d''un parrain rival de " Papa "... Faisant suite à Gravité à la manque, mais pouvant se lire indépendamment, une nouvelle incursion dans l''orient déglingué d''Effinger, la paix d''Allah soit sur lui.

The Zork Chronicles

release date: Jan 01, 1990
The Zork Chronicles
"This book argues that the provenance of early modern and medieval objects from Islamic lands was largely forgotten until the "long" eighteenth century, when the first efforts were made to reconnect them with the historical contexts in which they were produced. For the first time, these Islamicate objects were read, studied and classified - and given a new place in history. Freed by scientific interest, they were used in new ways and found new homes, including in museums. More generally, the process of "rediscovery" opened up the prehistory of the discipline of Islamic art history and it had a significant impact on conceptions of cultural boundaries, differences and identity. The book will be of interest to scholars working in the history of art, the art of the Islamic world, early modern history and art historiography"--

Gravité à la manque

release date: Jan 01, 1989
Gravité à la manque
Dans le monde exotique et décadent du Boudayin, il faut être prêt aux rencontres les plus inattendues. On y croise aussi bien des avatars de James Bond (sourcil arqué, gin et Walther PPK) que des Levantins adipeux, des disciples enturbannés de Jack l''éventreur, des Sœurs Veuves noires (cuir et couteau), ou un " parrain " bicentenaire. Il faut dire que dans ce Moyen-Orient du XXIIe siècle, il suffit de s''enficher dans le crâne un module mimétique pour changer de personnalité. Mais pour Marîd Audran, synthèse islamique de Philip Marlowe et Nero Wolfe, comme pour tous les autres protagonistes de cet additif aux Mille et Une Nuits, le monde a beau se déglinguer, le rite du café à la cardamone, ou le ramadân, ça reste sacré. Et c''est ainsi qu''Allah est grand.
