François Lelord
Hector, a slightly disillusioned psychiatrist who was constantly hesitating between his love for Clara and his fondness for exoticism in the form of beautiful Oriental women, finally seems to have found happiness — as well as the secret of love. Everything is going smoothly, when all around him people start asking questions and raising issues. Some women, seeing the passing of time, worry because they haven’t had a child yet; others say that, at their age, it’s already too late for them. Some children are impatient and want to grow up faster. Then there are those men and women who have regrets, feel nostalgic or frustrated, or are concerned because they no longer feel nonchalant and light-hearted. Is time, then, the problem? Time that goes by either too quickly or not quickly enough. So Hector decides to go away, travelling far to the North, to meet with a friend in the land of the Inuits — for travel is a part of education, especially for psychiatrists, particularly when the journey turns into a burlesque comedy, and most particularly when the psychiatrist in question chances to meet a certain beautiful Chinese lady and a certain aged monk. Following a novel about happiness and wisdom told in the form of a rebus, and then a love story written in the manner of a spy novel, François Lelord continues the saga of Hector’s amusing quest for Life’s Great Secrets.

Yasmina Khadra
Yasmina Khadra is the nom de plume of Mohammed Moulesslhoul, who was born in Algeria in 1955. As an officer in the Algerian army, he was discharged in 2000 with the rank of commander, after a 36-year military career, in order to pursue his calling, that of writing. In 2001, after a short stay in Mexico, he settled down in France, where he has lived since with his family. He took up his wife's suggestion that he adopt a pseudonym, her first and middle names serving the purpose.

Yasmina Khadra came to readers' attention in 1997 with Morituri, soon followed by L'Ecrivain (The Writer), an autobiographical novel. Les Hirondelles de Kaboul (The Swallows of Kabul), translated in the U.S. by John Cullen, was chosen as best book of the year in 2005 by the San Francisco Chronicle and the Christian Science Monitor. L'Attentat (The Assassination), published in 2005, confirmed his talent and the international acclaim he receives now. The Nobel Prize Winner for Literature J. M. Coetze sees in the prolific writer, now translated in seventeen languages, "a novelist of the first order."

François Lelord
Once upon a time, there was a young psychiatrist called Hector who was not very pleased with himself, for he could see that despite his efforts he wasn’t succeeding in making people any happier. So, he decided to travel all over the world to see if he could understand what happiness was all about. Why do so many of us dream of a happier life rather than enjoying our own? Does happiness lie in success or in our relations with others? Does happiness depend on circumstances or on the way we see things? At the end of his journey, after many adventures and unexpected meetings, Hector will be better equipped to answer these questions. Partly the account of a journey of initiation and partly an adult tale, this book offers us a psychiatrist’s outlook on our doubts and our thirst for happiness. “Being happy: how about asking the right questions?” Elle magazine François Lelord is a psychiatrist and psychotherapist.

Yasmina Khadra
Dr. Amin Jaafari, an Arab-Israeli citizen, is a surgeon at a hospital in Tel Aviv. Dedicated to his work, respected and admired by his colleagues and community, he represents integration at its most successful. He has learned to live with the violence and chaos that plague his city, and on the night of a deadly bombing in a local restaurant, he works tirelessly to help the shocked and shattered patients brought to the emergency room. But this night of turmoil and death takes a horrifyingly personal turn. His wife’s body is found among the dead, with massive injuries, the police coldly announce, typical of those found on the bodies of fundamentalist suicide bombers. As evidence mounts that his wife, Sihem, was responsible for the catastrophic bombing, Dr. Jaafari is torn between cherished memories of their years together and the inescapable realization that the beautiful, intelligent, thoroughly modern woman he loved had a life far removed from the comfortable, assimilated existence they shared.

From the graphic, beautifully rendered description of the bombing that opens the novel to the searing conclusion, The Attack portrays the reality of terrorism and its incalculable spiritual costs. Intense and humane, devoid of political bias, hatred, and polemics, it probes deep inside the Muslim world and gives readers a profound understanding of what seems impossible to understand.
