About the Book

Le hasard peut-il faire que trois permissionnaires américains surentraînés et un terroriste lourdement armé se retrouvent en même temps dans la même voiture d'un train européen ? La réponse, évidemment, est oui. Le monde est cependant plein d'incrédules - ou plutôt de gens à la crédulité pervertie - toujours prêts à imaginer les conspirations les plus farfelues derrière la réalité la plus simple. C'est pour eux, ou plutôt à cause d'eux, que ce livre a été écrit. Il raconte une histoire entièrement fausse, et à peu près aussi vraisemblable que la réalité, uniquement dans un but de divertissement - et peut-être pour faire réfléchir aux bizarreries du destin. L'auteur, romancier, nouvelliste, biographe et essayiste, a écrit sur l'Histoire et sur la politique, et s'intéresse depuis longtemps à la large zone crépusculaire où se rencontrent toutes les vérités et tous les mensonges. Voyageur, ancien militaire, il n'a pas eu de mal à imaginer certains des personnages de ce coup tordu, et d'illustrer de croquis exacts sa description du paysage. Lié au Maghreb, fasciné par les cultures méditerranéennes, sensible aux convergences entre l'Islam et les autres religions monothéistes, il est d'abord un fils de la vieille Europe, profondément attaché à l'humanisme qu'elle a fait naître et à l'humanité qui y demeure. C'est ainsi que, à l'abri d'une l'intrigue rocambolesque, il trace le portrait - pas vraiment antipathique -d'un jeune homme ordinaire, un peu paumé, dont la candeur et la colère font une proie facile pour toutes sortes de recruteurs et de manipulateurs, et qui devient un terroriste au terme d'un parcours étrange et décevant. Le sujet est trop grave pour être traité gravement, et c'est avec humour et ironie que le lecteur est convié à assister, jusqu'au coup de théâtre final, à la marche au sacrifice d'Ismail ben Brahim.
About the Author: Né au MAROC en 1941, l'auteur à étudié à Sciences-Po puis choisi la carrière militaire. Il a été atttaché militaire au Portugal, professeur à Coëtquidan. Ecrivain depuis toujours, il se concentre exclusivement à la littérature et à la fiction depuis un quart de siècle. Son témoignage sur la révolution portugaise (Portugal- Le printemps des capitaines) et sa biographie de Charles Ier, roi de Portugal, ont assuré sa réputation d'observateur sérieux de l'histoire. Ses romans et nouvelles sont caractérisés par le souci d'écriture et l'originalité de l'approche. Il a traduit, avec rigueur et passion, des textes d'Eça de Queiroz, Julio Conrado et José Jorge Letria, ainsi que deux pièces de Tim Fountain. Il est un partisan acharné de la publication digitale et de l'impression "à la demande".
