Description
Amin Maalouf’s *Origins* begins with a discovery: a trunk of letters and notebooks left behind by his late grandfather, prompting a searching, deeply personal investigation into the past. Tracing the life of Boutros Maalouf—a poet and educator whose choices carry him far beyond Lebanon—this narrative follows the shifting loyalties, languages, and identities that shaped one family as the world around them convulsed. Blending historical insight with intimate storytelling, the book illuminates how nations are made and remade through migration, conflict, and the quiet negotiations of everyday life. At its heart, *Origins* is a meditation on memory and belonging, written in Maalouf’s signature style that fuses rigorous research with the emotional momentum of fiction.
