Originally scheduled to focus on the book Charles-Joseph Bonaparte, The Inventor of FBI, this evening will now be dedicated to the following topic:
Join us for an exceptional evening with Abel Douay, researcher and historian, as he presents his captivating work: Uniting East and West: The Prodigious Challenge of the Suez Canal. Through the tale of this monumental epic, he takes us to the heart of one of history’s greatest construction projects ; a true bridge between worlds. Balancing technical feats, diplomatic vision, and extraordinary destinies, he retraces the audacity of those who dared to defy the desert to reshape global geography. It is a masterful and immersive account, blending power dynamics, human genius, and a spirit of adventure, all delivered with rigorous analysis and exquisite narration.
