The History of China

#235 - Ming 25: Some Light Treason

In the chaos that grips the steppes in the mid 15th century, anarchy reins. Though there are though who call themselves khans, they were merely figureheads controlled by their own prime ministers, the taishis. The once mighty Borjigin Clan has been bled nearly dry, and usurpers are over every hill crest. 

Into this world of destruction and disarray, two children are born on opposite sides of the vast Gobi. The first is one of the last members of the House of Borjigin, a boy called Bayan Möngke, who will in time become the heir to the office of Great Khan of the Mongols. The other a girl of seemingly little significance, Mandukhai, who will be given to the sitting Khan in marriage as his second queen.

Time Period Covered:
ca. 1448~1478 CE

Bookmakers #19 - L’autrice du mois : Jakuta Alikavazovic
Née à Paris en 1979, Jakuta Alikavazovic est une romancière multirécidiviste suspectée à juste titre de détournements d’attention, de trafic d’énigmes et de corruption d’imaginaires. Elle a reçu en 2008 le Goncourt du premier roman pour « Corps volatils » (L’Olivier) et, en 2021, le prix Médicis de l’essai pour « Comme un ciel en nous » (Stock). Elle a aussi publié d’habiles romans pour la jeunesse et une histoire d’amour inoubliable, « L’Avancée de la nuit ». Mais qui est donc cette érudite « d’un naturel inquiet », souvent vêtue d’un imperméable de détective privé, pour qui « internet est l’ennemi juré de l’écriture », par ailleurs chroniqueuse enjouée pour « Libération » et traductrice anglophone d’Eve Babitz ou de David Forster Wallace ? Pour le savoir, y a qu’à écouter Jakuta.

En partenariat avec Babelio.

(1/3) Tombée du ciel
Elle a caché quelque chose au Louvre. Un outil, ou peut-être un insecte. Un mystère de poche introduit en loucedé, au nez et à la barbe des équipes de sécurité, lors de sa nuit au musée dont le récit, intitulé « Comme un ciel en nous », lui a valu le prix Médicis 2021 de l’essai. Vendu à 7300 exemplaires, ce petit livre, son plus personnel à ce jour, est à double fond : Jakuta Alikavazovic y expose ses joyeuses réflexions sur l’art, « cette histoire de fantômes pour grandes personnes », tout en esquissant le portrait pudique de son père monténégrin en « émigré esthétique » venu à Paris pour « s’installer dans la beauté ». 

Ce nouveau forfait méritait une enquête approfondie sur cette admiratrice d’Hercule Poirot et de Philip Marlowe, qui lit dans son bain et se rêve parfois dans la peau de Raskolnikov, armée d’une hache. Comment s’éveilla sa vocation ? C’est ce que nous allons tenter d’élucider dans la première partie de cette garde à vue sonore.
