une nouvelle enquête au cœur de l'Orient ancien... Noam cherche fougueusement celle qu'il aime, enlevée dans d'étranges conditions. Flanqué de son chien, il découvre un monde en pleine mutation, la Mésopotamie, autrement appelée le Pays des Eaux Douces, où les hommes viennent d'inventer les villes, l'écriture, l'astronomie. À Babel, cité bruyante et colorée, belle de jour comme de nuit, il affronte le tyran Nemrod. Celui-ci, en recourant à l'esclavage, construit la plus haute tour jamais conçue qui constituera la porte du ciel et donnera accès aux Dieux. Ruses, manigances, chausse-trapes. Dans un chassé-croisé d'intrigues, Noam le guérisseur s'introduit dans tous les milieux et fait d'étonnantes rencontres : Maël l'enfant poète, le mystérieux Gawan appelé le Magicien, la reine Kubaba, étourdissante d'intelligence et d'espièglerie, Abraham, chef des nomades hébreux, lui refuse la nouvelle civilisation. Que choisira Noam ? Sacrifiera-t-il ses inclinations profondes pour se consacrer à la lutte contre les injustices ? Dans ce deuxième tome de La Traversée des Temps, Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt dépoussière, avec une érudition joyeuse, cette époque légendée par la Bible. Grâce à son style visionnaire et guidé par les derniers travaux des assyriologues, il restitue la complexe et brillante Mésopotamie que nous connaissons bien mal, à laquelle nous devons tantBy Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt. 2021

les siècles, en embrasser les âges, en sentir les bouleversements, comme si Yuval Noah Harari avait croisé Alexandre Dumas. Depuis plus de trente ans, ce projet titanesque occupe Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt. Accumulant connaissances scientifiques, médicales, religieuses, philosophiques, créant des personnages forts, touchants, vivants, il lui donne aujourd'hui naissance et nous propulse d'un monde à l'autre, de la préhistoire à nos jours, d'évolution en révolution, tandis que le passé éclaire le présent. Paradis perdus lance cette aventure unique. Noam en est le héros. Né il y a huit mille ans dans un village lacustre, au coeur d'une nature paradisiaque, il a affronté les drames de son clan le jour où il a rencontré Noura, une femme imprévisible et fascinante, qui le révèle à lui-même. Il s'est mesuré à une calamité célèbre : le Déluge. Non seulement le Déluge fit entrer Noam-Noé dans l'Histoire mais il détermina son destin. Serait-il le seul à parcourir les époques ? Dans ce premier tome d'une nouvelle saga d'envergure, véritable fresque majestueuse sur l'histoire de l'humanité, Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt nous offre une interprétation pleine de maîtrise et de sensibilitéBy Larry Tye. 2012
