Une tragédie grecque,
au milieu du XIIe siècle, au cœur
du Maghreb. Thirty five years after leaving Spain, Pons de Peralda has badly got old. He is sick. Disappointed in his ambition, a last stroke of madness will lead him towards the desert oasis, at the head of a troup of christian mercenaries and uprooted people of all kinds, in order to build himself an ephemeral kingdom. The Amoravid Empire collapses, and he will try and realise, whatever the cost, his dreams of greatness and revenge. What will be the influence of Deborah’s desperate love who in the past went with him to Marrakech ? What kinds of harem intrigues Safa and his various concubines will manage to hatch ? Concerning the young Batoul, his « berbère » hostage, he will be opposed to his own son, who had joined the Almohad rebels. While describing the last challenge this old man casts to the world, the writer will treat us with a new colourful and iconoclast fresco, full of new developments and picturesque characters. Who, in fact, is Loufti the colourful king of Marrakech insultors ? Which part while Zinedine play, that slaves’merchant ? Which intrigues will Abdel Mumen invent, the rebellion leader and his mysterious spanish ally ? |
