«Ulysse from Bagdad» is the novel by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt, published by Magnard in paperback (288 pages, in French).
Saad, a young Iraqi, flees Baghdad in the midst of the crisis for England, where he hopes to find freedom and a future. His journey, inspired by the Odyssey, imposes storms, shipwrecks and a thousand obstacles on him as he evokes his father. Between drama and lightness, the novel addresses the uprooting and clandestinity of those who emigrate without resources.
It belongs to Magnard's Classiques & Contemporains collection (no. 182); a pedagogical edition in full text, with commentary by Laurence Sudret.
An edition designed for secondary school students, especially for the French 3rd-year course, with teaching material for analysing the novel in class.
Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is a Franco-Belgian playwright, short story writer and novelist, as well as a film director. His plays have been staged in over fifty countries all over the world.
