Ethiopia mirror games

Jean-Christophe Rufin has an undeniable quality: that of knowing how to write ... and write well. It's all the fun that we have while reading this book that shows the humanitarian facets, face to the famous NGOs (which does not escape the power play) and face to the Ethiopians.

It is well written but however, we do not feel the breath can have books like "Brazil Red" or "Globalia". The action seeks it but he's really an action? The reflection so dear to the author also seeks but could it be otherwise in this book tracing the intricacies of humanitarian? The great advantage is to have placed the "action" in the eyes and pen of this old Armenian, allowing to take the distance with the emotional field. We must thank JC Rufin not inflict moral sandwiches on the theme "Save Africa". Undoubtedly, his personal experience the vaccine against this temptation.

In summary, a good book well written but a bittersweet tone that does not really bring the enthusiasm of the reader.
