Vous ne la connaissez pas, pourtant elle a tenu le monde entre ses mains. Au lendemain de la Premi\u00e8re Guerre mondiale, Gertrude Bell a dessin\u00e9 les fronti\u00e8re de l’Orient, dans ce d\u00e9sert sauvage o\u00f9 tout a commenc\u00e9 : le pays entre deux fleuves, le Tigre et l’Euphrate.<\/p>\n
Aventuri\u00e8re, arch\u00e9ologue, espionne, parlant l’arabe et le persan, elle fut la premi\u00e8re femme puissante de l’Empire britannique, mais aussi une h\u00e9ro\u00efne tragique. Id\u00e9aliste comme son ami et fr\u00e8re d’\u00e2me Lawrence d’Arabie. Imp\u00e9rialiste et courageuse comme le jeune Winston Churchill. Enfant aim\u00e9e et incomprise d’une riche famille victorienne. Amoureuse \u00e9perdue. Et une \u00e9nigme pour nous : celle des femmes que l’Histoire a effac\u00e9es.<\/p>\n
Olivier Guez lui rend sa gloire et nous offre une \u00e9pop\u00e9e flamboyante : de la d\u00e9couverte de gigantesques gisements p\u00e9troliers aux jeux de pouvoir cruels entre Britanniques, Fran\u00e7ais et Allemands, des n\u00e9gociations sous les tentes b\u00e9douines aux sables de Bagdad o\u00f9 se perdent nos r\u00eaves.
\nLe roman de Gertrude Bell dessine la vaste freque de la premi\u00e8re mondialisation, quand le plus grand empire de tous les temps s’approprie une contr\u00e9e mythique et maudite, terre d’Abraham, du d\u00e9luge et de Babel, tombeau d’Alexandre le Grand : la M\u00e9sopotamie.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
