with Amin Maalouf

This English version of my blog would not have existed without the skill and the dedication of Alexander Gilly, to whom I would like to extend my deep gratitude. I would also like to thank all those who have helped me in this venture from its outset, with their advice and their encouragement, in particular: Philippe Couve, Alexandre Barrière, Jean-Baptiste Barrière, Martina Morin, Ghada Maamari and Ziad Maalouf.

Many thanks also to Jerry Bauer for the photo used on the opening page.
