Le Mal de Baal

Author: FranÃ§ois Akel
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1435722949
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 556

Book Description
'Le Mal de Baal' décrit l'odyssée d'un honnête homme solitaire, marchand itinérant, pacifiste, fier et courageux. Un jour, son destin bascule. Il tombe éperdument amoureux d'une jeune femme, mais il est chrétien et elle est musulmane ; la damnation s'annonce. L'affrontement entre deux visions et deux lois du monde commence. Devront-ils se cacher à jamais pour s'aimer ? Triompheront-ils de la médiocrité et de l'intolérance des messagers de la mort ? Leur histoire d'amour dégénère en une histoire d'horreur, de débauche, de passion folle, de parricide, d'inceste, de malédiction, et d'aberrance. Le culte ; a t'il été salut ou malheur pourtant, c'est le même Dieu de la Bonté contrairement à celui qui le précédait : Baal. Dans un réel sens du détail et une succession d'images colorées et limpides, l'auteur décrit l'humain qui se démasque réveillant l'horrible Bête sommeillant en lui, dans un creux de toile : Les guerres fratricides au Liban.
