Title : Listen to our defeats - Laurent Gaudé - Book
Summary :
A French intelligence agent overcome by great weariness is tasked with finding a former member of the American elite commandos in Beirut suspected of various trafficking schemes. He crosses paths with an Iraqi archaeologist trying to save the treasures of museums in bombed cities. The distant epics of heroes from the past punctuate their journeys - General Grant crushing the Confederates, Hannibal marching on Rome, Haile Selassie standing up to the fascist invader... A disquieting and melancholic novel that observes the futility of all conquest and proclaims that only humanity and beauty are worth dying for.
