Abstract

'Absurdistan' is not just a hilarious novel, but a record of a particular peak in the history of human folly. No one is more capable of dealing with the transition from the hell of socialism to the hell of capitalism in Eastern Europe than Shteyngart, the great-great grandson of one Nikolai Gogol and the funniest foreigner alive.& & Aleksandar Hemon From the critically acclaimed, bestselling author of 'The Russian Debutante's Handbook' comes the uproarious and poignant story of one very fat man and one very small country. Open Absurdistan and meet outsize Misha Vainberg, son of the 1,238th-richest man in Russia, lover of large portions of food and drink, lover and inept performer of rap music, and lover of a South Bronx Latina whom he longs to rejoin in New York, if only the American INS would grant him a visa. But it won't, because Misha's late Beloved Papa whacked an Oklahoma businessman of some prominence. And Misha is paying the price of exile from his adopted American homeland. He's stuck in Russia, dreaming of his beloved Rouenna and the Oz of NYC. Salvation may lie in the tiny, oil-rich nation of Absurdistan, where a crooked consular officer will sell Misha a Belgian passport. But after a civil war breaks out between two competing ethnic groups and a local warlord installs hapless Misha as Minister of Multicultural Affairs, our hero soon finds himself covered in oil, fighting for his life, falling in love, and trying to figure out if a normal life is still possible in the twenty-first Century. Populated by curvaceous brown-eyed beauties, circumcision-happy [crazed? zealous?] Hasidic Jews, a loyal manservant who never stops serving, and scheming oil execs from a certain American company whose name rhymes with Malliburton, Absurdistan is a strange, oddly true-to-life look at how we live now from a writer who should know. With the enormous success of 'The Russian Debutante's Handbook', Shteyngart established himself as a central figure in today's literary w

Abstract

La guerre de l'été 2006 au Liban a donné lieu à des flots de commentaires et d'analyses « à chaud », trop souvent marqués par les raccourcis et les simplifications. C'est pourquoi des chercheurs et des spécialistes du Liban et du Moyen-Orient, français et libanais en majorité, ont joint leurs efforts pour rendre compte dans ce livre de la crise multidimensionnelle de l'été 2006, en se fondant sur leur expertise, sur leur familiarité avec le terrain et, pour nombre d'entre eux, sur leur observation directe de la scène libanaise durant ces semaines de guerre. La visée première de ce livre est donc de contribuer à éclairer le public sur les prémisses, le déroulement et les enjeux majeurs de cette nouvelle guerre du Liban, en s'appuyant sur les apports récents de la recherche sur le Proche-Orient. Par la diversité des angles d'approche, il en propose une lecture à plusieurs niveaux : celui de la conflictualité internationale en s'intéressant aux grands acteurs comme les États-Unis, la France, Israël, l'Iran et la Syrie ; celui des enjeux régionaux, à commencer par la paix et, en arrière-plan, ceux de la terre, de l'eau et de la sécurité. Il propose aussi une lecture inédite des répercussions du conflit sur la société libanaise. Par une mise en perspective du processus de reconstruction et des choix politiques qui furent ceux du Liban après la guerre civile de 1975-1990, il ouvre enfin une réflexion sur les futurs équilibres du pays et de la région.
