Adrift: How Our World Lost Its Way Paperback - 2020
by Amin Maalouf; Frank Wynne (Translator)
From the rear cover
The United States is losing its moral credibility. The European Union is breaking apart. Africa, the Arab world, and the Mediterranean are becoming battlefields for various regional and global powers. Extreme forms of nationalism are on the rise. Thus divided, humanity is unable to address global threats to the environment and our health. How did we get here and what is yet to come? World-renowned scholar and bestselling author Amin Maalouf seeks to raise awareness and pursue a new human solidarity. In Adrift, Maalouf traces how civilizations have drifted apart throughout the 20th century, mixing personal narrative and historical analysis to provide a warning signal for the future. "With his consciously nurtured multiple identities, Maalouf is just the sort of interlocutor this period needs. He reaches deep into unmined seams of cultural history, scything elegantly through cliche and conventional models of received wisdom." Financial Times, on Disordered World "True change is possible: Maalouf shows us ways forward in magnificent prose filled with wisdom." La Provence "A marvelous, luminous piece of writing." Europe 1
