Inspired by a true incident, this powerful story of the murder of a
19th-century Lebanese patriarch, of the cunning wiles of the Emir
who brought the murderer to justice and of the passionate
adventures of Tanios, the hero of the book, is a masterpiece of
storytelling which won Maalouf the Prix Goncourt in 1993. (Kirkus
UK)
An exploration of myth, passion and loyalty from the Lebanon's
troubled past, The Rock of Tanios is another superbly rich and
rewarding novel from the author of Samarkand and Leo the African.
Expertly controlling his multi-faceted narrative with prose of
great beauty and power, Maalouf delves into the history of an
extraordinary life: that of Tanois, child of the mountains.
