L'Arabe du futur - volume 1 - (1): Une jeunesse au Moyen-Orient (1978-1984)

Product Information

L'intolérance, la racisme, la violence sous le prisme de l'humour et un catharsis pour un petit garçon qui découvre la vie quotidienne, en Syrie! Mais surprise! Son père est revenu, sans prévenir, en exhibant une fausse montre en diamants ( cadeau d'un membre de la famille Saoudienne?)

Puis viendront les années Bretonnes auxquelles succèderont les souvenirs Lybiens, autant de périples, autant d'images encore bien présentes dans un album de famille truffé d'anecdotes et digne de celui des Harlem Globetrotters... Abdul-Razak works as a professor in Syria. Among his students is one of the bodyguards of Hafez al-Assad. Abdul-Razak is torn between his desire to be an enlightened modern man and his loyalty to his conservative family. Clémentine and the children travel to Brittany for her to give birth to her third child, Fadi. After they return to Syria, Abdul-Razak has made his peace with his family. He agrees to have Riad circumcised. At the end of the book, he announces that he will begin a new job in Saudi Arabia.

Cela confirme, s'il en était besoin, qu'il a bien raison de ne pas se contenter d'être un illustrateur.

Eventually another version was released which cut out some details but combined all 6 books into 1. Michel Hazanavicius, Academy Award-winning director of The Artist, proclaims “Seriously funny and penetratingly honest, Riad Sattouf tells the epic story of his eccentric and troubled family. Written with tenderness, grace, and piercing clarity, The Arab of the Future is one of those books that transcend their form to become a literary masterpiece."

A major theme of the novel is how young Riad looks up to his father as a hero. Abdul-Razak, however, is portrayed as a complex character, being educated, ambitious and a loving father, yet also hypocritical, sexist, racist, and simultaneously authoritarian towards his wife and children yet almost infantile in his relationships with his mother and elder brother. Abdul-Razak appears particularly conflicted over religion; he prefers to describe himself as a secular modernizer (he drinks wine, eats pork, and does not pray) but he also exhorts his son to respect God and to learn to read the Qur'an, seemingly motivated by the pressure of his conservative family and Syrian society.With Clémentine transcribing his words and "rendering them intelligible," Abdul-Razak obtains a Ph.D. in history from the Sorbonne. In 1980, he moves the family to Libya after accepting a job as an associate professor. (He is paid in US dollars, with the funds sent to an account in the Channel Islands.) The Arab of the Future begins in France, where Riad Sattouf is born in 1978. He describes himself as a “perfect” little boy with "platinum-blonde hair" and “bright puppy-dog eyes.” Riad is the eldest son of Clémentine, a reserved French woman, and Abdul-Razak Sattouf, a flamboyant Sunni-Syrian man. They met when Clémentine took pity on Abdul-Razak's clueless failure to attract a friend of hers. Dans le premier tome, Riad décrit la rencontre de ses parents et leur installation en Libye, puis au village de Ter Maaleh en Syrie. Il pose les bases des thématiques principales de la série: l'image du père, le contexte géopolitique au Moyen-Orient de l'époque et le contraste entre les cultures et traditions européennes et orientales.

Au niveau graphique, la magie opère toujours et le dessin colle bien au scénario. Et toujours ce style très expressif mais d'une efficacité exemplaire. Quand on aime, on aime. Allons, puisqu'on vous dit que "L'Arabe du futur" (tomes 1, 2, 3, 4... et bientôt 5 !) sera LE chef d'oeuvre littéraire et graphique de ce début de (pourtant bien sinistre) XXIème siècle.Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2022-02-17 04:04:36 Bookplateleaf 0008 Boxid IA40363604 Camera USB PTP Class Camera Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier A travers les yeux du gamin, nous découvrons la pauvreté de ces pays, la haine des Occidentaux, sa difficulté de s'adapter vu sa différence physique et culturelle. In Arabic, the names Riad and Sattouf had what he described as “an impressive solemnity.” In French, they sounded like rire de sa touffe, which means “laugh at her pussy.” When teachers took attendance, “people would burst out laughing. It was impossible for a girl to date a guy whose name meant ‘I laughed at your pussy.’ ” As a result, he said, “I lived a very violent solitude. " Clémentine has refused to take the family to Saudi Arabia, so instead she and the children are living in Brittany without Abdul-Razak. At the end of the school term, he pays them a surprise visit and takes them on holiday to Syria. The following year, Clémentine and the children again spend the school year in Brittany, then join Abdul-Razak in Syria for the holidays. He has become a more devout muslim, and strongly disapproves of Clémentine's secular ideas. By the end of the volume, tensions between Clémentine and Abdul-Razak lead to their breakup. Abdul-Razak takes the family's savings and their youngest child Fadi to Syria, leaving Clémentine in Brittany with the two older children. En 2018, selon RTL [19 ], les ventes pour les trois premiers volumes représentent plus d'un million et demi d'exemplaires et les traductions existent dans vingt-deux langues, mais pas en arabe.
