Jean Hatzfeld

Où en est la nuit

€8,80

Dans une oasis du désert d'Ogaden secouée par la guerre, à la frontière entre l'Éthiopie et la Somalie, Frédéric, journaliste, rencontre dans une tranchée un champion de marathon qu'il avait vu triompher dans le stade olympique de Pékin, à l'issue d'un dernier tour époustouflant. Double médaille d'or, coureur un peu mystique, Ayanleh Makeda est digne de la légende des hauts plateaux. Mais pourquoi a-t-il été déchu?

Quittant le front, Frédéric tente de comprendre. Sa curiosité le mène sur les terres d'Abebe Bikila, où il rencontre un prêtre entraîneur, puis dans les bars d'Addis-Abeba à la recherche de Tirunesh, la brillante épouse du champion, puis à Paris, à Karlovy Vary et enfin, de retour dans le Sud, vers un autre désert, à Jijiga. La très contemporaine odyssée d'Ayanleh Makeda traverse deux mondes qui se mêlent sans se comprendre, menaçant, telle une malédiction, celui qui s'y laisse entraîner.
