Le Liban

18 communautés et bien davantage ...

Collectif

Florilège rafraîchissant, cet ouvrage est indubitablement représentatif de ce qu'est le Liban aujourd'hui. Les auteurs abordent sans détour, ni tabou, parfois même avec beaucoup d'humour les questions cruciales et les défis que les Libanais doivent relever ensemble. Le pays des Cèdres est exactement à l'image de ces récits, surprenant, émouvant, parfois étrange et paradoxal, mais il s'avère surtout pluriel tout en étant un, multiple tout en étant unique ! Les contributeurs appartiennent à la société civile et y exercent divers métiers. Certains sont aussi des écrivains reconnus, et cela semble faire sens pour ce projet où les regards croisés des uns et des autres s'enrichissent, et où l'on donne aussi la parole à ceux qui ne la prennent pas souvent.

Maximum Max

Le pérégrin du zénith

Inspiré des aventures de Maxime Chaya

« Et lorsque vous aurez atteint le sommet de la montagne, alors vous commencerez à monter. » Gibran Khalil Gibran Nul mieux que Max ne connaît cette terre qui nous est prêtée le temps d’une vie, lui qui en a exploré les moindres recoins, du pôle Nord au pôle Sud, de son sommet le plus élevé (le mont Éverest, 8 850 m) à l’immensité de ses océans (l’océan Indien à la rame, en 57 jours), et jusqu’à l’ardeur impitoyable de ses déserts (le Rub’ al-Khali à vélo sans assistance, en 21 jours). Ce deuxième album des aventures de Maximum Max raconte comment ce sportif de l’extrême, à peine redescendu du mont Kilimandjaro, se lance dans l’ascension de trois autres cimes figurant dans le Challenge des Sept Sommets : l’Elbrouz, plus haut double sommet de l’Europe et de la Russie ; l’Aconcagua, plus haute montagne de l’Amérique du Sud, et enfin, le Denali en Alaska, plus haute montagne de l’Amérique du Nord. Déterminé à aller de l’avant, et toujours plus haut, notre héros subira des épreuves qui le pousseront à puiser tout au fond de sa volonté les ressources pour se dépasser. Learn more >‎

Maximum Max

Prince of Peaks

Inspired by the adventures of Maxime Chaya

“And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin the climb.” Gibran Khalil Gibran No one knows better than Max this land which has been lent to us for a lifetime. He who has explored its every nook and cranny: from the North Pole to the South Pole, from Earth’s highest summit (Mount Everest at 8,850 m) to its vastest expanses of water (rowing across the Indian Ocean, in 57 days) and harshest deserts (cycling across the Empty Quarter without assistance, in 21 days). This second volume of the adventures of Maximum Max tells how this extreme sportsman, just back from Kilimanjaro, next attempts three more peaks of the Seven Summits challenge: Russia’s Mount Elbrus, the tallest in Europe; Argentina’s Aconcagua, the highest in South America; and, finally, Alaska’s Denali, the loftiest mountain of North America. Determined to always move onwards and upwards, our hero will encounter hardships that compel him to draw on all his physical and mental resources to surpass himself. Learn more >‎

Cette nouvelle édition poursuit le récit jusqu’en 2008.

From Village to Presidential Suite

My Life’s Journey

Dr. Joseph Jabbra

“How does one know one has lived a full life? This is a question that preoccupies all of us at one time or another, but at a simple level we can say, “through the evidence of our actions and our relationships with others.” The pages of this memoir bear witness to Dr. Jabbra’s achievements, from his successful terms as Provost at St. Mary’s and Loyola Marymount, to his crowning moment as President of LAU. But much of the magic of this book lies in its descriptions of his friendships and interactions throughout his life, from the early days in his family village of al-Firzul to his school experiences at Harissa and St. Joseph, and the eventual passage to the United States, armed with Arabic, French, Latin and Greek, but no English. Then on to his life in America and Canada, and the rich relationships he formed with so many in that extraordinary phenomenon that is the Lebanese diaspora. After seeing an early draft of this memoir, I urged Dr. Jabbra to relate the day-to-day experiences he had in running LAU in the semichaotic atmosphere that prevails even in the best of times in Lebanon. I knew how vivid some of these moments were, having shared many with him, and he has captured that time beautifully, although I wish he had included a particularly hairy moment he and I once had, from which we were fortunate to emerge unscathed.” Philip Stoltzfus, Chairman, LAU Board of Trustees September 2021 My tamed ego was my friend and not my enemy, my wise advisor but not my dictator. Forgiveness, instead of retaliation, was my motto. Integrity and the highest ethical standards defeated, hands down, my detractors at the governing boards of any institution I served. My leveling with people, working together with them, and my honesty were invincible weapons and very difficult to resist or defeat. The realization on the part of the three university families I served, in Canada, the United States, and Lebanon, that I had a unique combination of genuine caring for people and a will of steel to defend the institution I was working for against any abuse, won me the people’s respect, not their fear, their genuine affection and trust. And this is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life. My transformative tenures at SMU, LMU, and LAU were strengthened by their remarkable families. They believed in the mission of their respective universities, they pulled ranks together, and together they transformed them from ordinary colleges to major forces in higher education, and they did it with indomitable drive, exemplary grace, unique pride, and contagious passion.” Dr Joseph Jabbra, From Village to Presidential Suite: My Life’s Journey, 2022, pg 687, In Conclusions and Lessons learned, Beirut, Hachette Antoine.
