Summary

À propos de ce titre
Prix Goncourt des lycéens 2002, Prix des Libraires 2002, Prix "Lire dans le noir" 2012.

Au cœur d'une Afrique ancestrale, le vieux Tsongor, roi de Massaba, souverain d'un empire immense, s'apprête à marier sa fille. Mais au jour des fiançailles, un deuxième prétendant surgit. La guerre éclate : c'est Troie assiégée, c'est Thèbes livrée à la haine. Le roi s'éteint mais ne peut reposer en paix dans sa cité dévastée. À son plus jeune fils, Souba, échoit la mission de parcourir le continent pour y construire sept tombeaux à l'image de ce que fût le vénéré - et aussi le haïssable - roi Tsongor.

Roman des origines, récit épique et initiatique,

La mort du roi Tsongor de Laurent Gaudé déploie dans une langue enivrante les étendards de la bravoure, la flamboyante beauté des héros, mais aussi l'insidieuse révélation, en eux, de la défaite. Telle est peut-être l'essence même de la tragédie.

Please note: This audiobook is in French.

Very interesting read!

Brilliant descriptions of characters and emotions. Written like an old tale, the voice really put you in the mood and the atmosphere of the book.
