sur le sujet de la dette. Le crédit, nous dit Atwood, est comme l'air que nous tenons pour acquis jusqu'à ce qu'il vienne à manquer.

d'identité, en Israël, Palestine, Jordanie, à Gaza, au Liban, en Égypte et en Syrie. Je me suis faufilé dans tous ces pays : il y faut plus d'un passeport et des détours. Jésus pouvait traverser la mer de Génésareth, aller "au-delà du Jourdain", et revenir le lendemain sur l'autre rive. Ce n'est plus possible. Aussi ce voyage d'un flâneur des deux rives n'a-t-il pu s'effectuer d'un seul trait. C'est un pari que de refaire l'itinéraire de Jésus à travers le Proche-Orient d'aujourd'hui, pour observer comment juifs, chrétiens et musulmans vivent à présent leur foi. Les surprenantes et souvent rebutantes vérités qui se dévoilent en Terre sainte ont valeur d'avertissement. Plus qu'un voyage au bout de la haine, ce carnet de route peut servir à la connaissance du monde profane tel qu'il va. Tout à la fois témoignage, chronique et méditation, l'enquête peut dès lors se lire comme un pèlerinage au coeur de l'homme, qu'il soit croyant ou agnostique, d'ici ou de là-bas". -- 4e de couvReal world math: money & other numbers in your life
