Inspir\u00e9 par le m\u00e9tier de chercheur d’eau souterraine, le romancier omanais Zahran Alqasmi a b\u00e2ti son roman \u00ab Le Sourcier \u00bb autour d’une communaut\u00e9 dont la vie quotidienne et le destin d\u00e9pendent de la pr\u00e9sence ou de l’absence de cette ressource. Laur\u00e9at du Prix international de la fiction arabe 2023, cet ouvrage met en lumi\u00e8re les aflaj, canaux d’irrigation traditionnels d’Oman, ainsi que les hommes qui les creusent. Le jury a salu\u00e9 la structure de l’\u0153uvre, la po\u00e9sie du style et l’\u00e9tude de la relation entre l’environnement et l’existence humaine, \u00e0 travers un r\u00e9cit situ\u00e9 entre r\u00e9alit\u00e9 et mythe. L’intrigue suit Salem bin Abdullah, dont la capacit\u00e9 extraordinaire \u00e0 percevoir l’eau sous la terre pousse les villageois \u00e0 solliciter son aide. Son lien avec l’\u00e9l\u00e9ment aquatique remonte \u00e0 sa naissance, marqu\u00e9e par la noyade de sa m\u00e8re, et traverse son enfance, son travail et ses voyages, autour desquels se regroupent les r\u00e9cits et les craintes de la population.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zahran Alqasmi s’est appuy\u00e9 sur les connaissances acquises au cours de son enfance dans un village d’Oman, notamment les contes et l\u00e9gendes autour des aflaj. Dans un entretien accord\u00e9 au site officiel du prix, l’auteur explique que ce syst\u00e8me associe la gestion de l’eau \u00e0 des rapports sociaux d\u00e9finis par le statut, la classe et les droits des propri\u00e9taires de vergers. Son choix illustre la puissance contradictoire de l’eau, capable d’entretenir la vie comme de donner la mort par la s\u00e9cheresse ou les crues. Derri\u00e8re ce monde romanesque se trouve un r\u00e9seau culturel et hydraulique dont cinq exemples figurent sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO depuis 2006. Ces canaux acheminent l’eau par gravit\u00e9 selon un partage temporel g\u00e9r\u00e9 par les communaut\u00e9s locales, ce qui ancre le r\u00e9cit dans une histoire s\u00e9culaire.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab Le Sourcier \u00bb s’inscrit dans un ensemble plus vaste de r\u00e9cits o\u00f9 Zahran Alqasmi aborde les m\u00e9tiers et les savoirs li\u00e9s au monde naturel. Ses romans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents incluent \u00ab La Faim de miel \u00bb, consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 l’apiculture, et \u00ab Le Chasseur \u00bb, centr\u00e9 sur la qu\u00eate du bouquetin. Apr\u00e8s l’obtention de sa r\u00e9compense, l’\u00e9crivain a pr\u00e9cis\u00e9 qu’il choisit un sujet distinct pour chaque ouvrage afin d’\u00e9viter la r\u00e9p\u00e9tition. Il a \u00e9galement attribu\u00e9 \u00e0 son \u00e9diteur la suggestion de pr\u00e9senter \u00ab Le Sourcier \u00bb au prix, et il a rappel\u00e9 que la s\u00e9lection officielle a offert au livre un lectorat plus large et une visibilit\u00e9 nouvelle aupr\u00e8s du public.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
