Editor's Note:
Si l’Afrique ancienne n’a pas d’écritures, elle a bien sûr une histoire depuis longtemps sous-estimée lorsqu’elle n’est pas simplement niée. À partir des traces laissées par des civilisations brillantes et les traditions orales, François-Xavier Fauvelle-Aymar reconstitue de manière captivante la richesse de ce continent retrouvé. En trente-quatre courts essais, Le Rhinocéros d’or offre un panorama de l’Afrique subsaharienne du VIIIe au XVe siècles. Des villes et des royaumes mystérieux Le premier à guider ses lecteurs est un voyageur chinois du temps de Charlemagne. Le dernier sera Vasco de Gama, au XVe siècle. Entre ces deux explorations voici d’autres visites mémorables : - une ville introuvable : la capitale du Ghâna, décrite vers 1068 par un géographe de Cordoue, philologue, buveur et collectionneur de livres. - une cérémonie grandiose à Marrakech : l’entrée du roi du mystérieux pays de « Zafûn », racontée par un ancien esclave chrétien de Byzance vers 1220. - une tombe mystérieuse : celle où se trouvait le rhinocéros d’or trouvé en 1932 à Mapungubwe, la « Colline aux chacals ». Cet objet du XIIe siècle est devenu la plus haute distinction sud-africaine - un « pays où l’or pousse comme les carottes » que tente de localiser au XIV ͤsiècle le secrétaire de la chancellerie du Caire. - une église construite en quelques jours avec l’aide des anges, au temps du roi Lalibela, souverain chrétien d’Éthiopie au XIIIe siècle. Bien d’autres traces récits encore… Ces témoignages, sites, objets ou fragments permettent à l’historien de reconstituer une Afrique chatoyante qu’on tint longtemps pour obscure. Une initiation vivante à l’histoire ancienne de l’Afrique Conduit par les négociants, les aventuriers, les géographes, les diplomates qui nous ont renseignés sur l’Afrique médiévale, mais aussi par les archéologues du temps présent, le lecteur parcourt le continent du Sahara jusqu’aux rives du fleuve Niger ; de l’empire du Mâli jusqu’aux royaumes chrétiens de Nubie ou d’Éthiopie ; des principautés de la côte d’Afrique de l’est jusqu’aux énigmatiques pouvoirs qui ont laissé les ruines majestueuses de Grand Zimbabwe. Le Rhinocéros d’or se fonde sur une connaissance de première main des sites, des objets et des archives. Le lecteur se voit ainsi proposer une véritable initiation à l’histoire ancienne de l’Afrique, au travers de récits qui dépeignent lieux, personnages, itinéraires, événements et intrigues. Une riche iconographie présente des documents inédits ; plusieurs cartes permettent de localiser les sites. Un glossaire et un index complètent les possibilités de parcours multiples à l’intérieur du livre.
