In 'Origines', Amin Maalouf narrates the story of two brothers born in late 19th century Lebanon, Gebrayel and Botros. Gebrayel dreams of conquering the world and settles in Cuba, while Botros, a man of letters, remains in his homeland. Through generations, the saga of the Maalouf extends from Brazil to Australia, connected by a name and a common heritage. The author, with the rigor of an archivist and the empathy of a novelist, pays homage to his 'tribe', exploring themes of exile, belonging, and the search for identity.
Amin Maalouf is a Lebanese French author who has lived in France since 1976. His native language is Arabic, and he writes in French. His works have been translated into over 40 languages.
