Description

Souvenirs d'une enfance dans un monde perdu.
Plaidoyer pour la tolérance et l'ouverture au monde. Un voyage dans un passé multinational et multiculturel.
Le mode de vie unique et la coexistence pacifique de tous ses merveilleux habitants ont disparu au fil des événements politiques et sociaux qui ont de plus en plus menacé la tolérance, le respect de la diversité et l'amour de l'humanité tels qu'ils étaient réellement vécus.
Les protagonistes de ce petit livre ont été dispersés aux quatre vents. S'ils ne sont pas déjà morts depuis longtemps, ils rêvent, comme moi, de leur île disparue.
Aujourd'hui, ils sont témoins dans de nombreux endroits de la violence et de la haine entre des personnes de religions et d'origines différentes, mais ils gardent dans leur cœur la certitude qu'il peut en être autrement.
Outre le souvenir nostalgique, il reste cependant l'espoir qu'il existe ou qu'une île similaire renaîtra quelque part dans le monde.

About the author

More about Michael Ghanem

Born in 1949, he grew up in France and graduated from an elite French university for industrial engineers. After moving to Germany, he studied economics, sociology, political science, philosophy and ethics. In the field of philosophy, he was strongly influenced by the philosophy and teachings of Zarathustra, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Rabelais, Michel de Montaigne, Baruch Spinoza, Thomas Aquinas, Ibn Khaldun, Niccolo Machiavelli, René Descartes, Blaise Pascal, Voltaire, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, Gottfried W. Leibniz, Auguste Comte, Arthur Schopenhauer, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Karl Marx, Henri Bergson, Karl Popper, Karl Jaspers, and Erich Fromm. In the field of economics, he was strongly influenced by post-Keynesians and behavioural economists. He is highly critical of the teachings of Milton Friedman, the Chicago Boys, the Frederick School and Friedrich A. Hayek. His professional career first took him to an international organisation, where he worked for five years as a project controller for major water projects, mainly in Africa, and thanks to this, he was able to get to know a large number of countries and their leaders. He then worked for many years for a European organisation and several international consulting firms. He considers himself a critic of current globalisation and has been strongly committed to water management and economics issues since 1974. These experiences have given him a deep understanding of geopolitical issues and enabled him to assess current political developments, particularly in the context of economic interdependencies. Since his retirement, he has been living a secluded life in Bonn and working as a writer. In his publications, he focuses primarily on the pressing social, economic and political issues of our time, as well as water management. To date, he has published numerous works on politics and geopolitics, society and economics. Other key topics include health, identity, racism, the environment, migration, water management, Africa, demographic development and alternative economic systems such as anti-fragility economics. He has also published several short stories and fairy tales.
