Évaluation du livre

En savoir plus sur le livre

The era of the West is coming to an end. Who will take its place? In his essayistic and personal book, "The Empire and the Five Kings," prominent contemporary global intellectual Bernard-Henri Lévy examines the diminishing influence of Western democracies on world affairs. The Euro-American Empire, built over centuries, is collapsing, and its ruins are being contested by five aggressive powers: Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Turkey. Lévy reflects on the reasons behind the end of Atlantic influence and the current geopolitical situation, particularly in the Middle East, as well as the consequences of the resulting power vacuum for today's world. He argues that the process of decline began long before Donald Trump was elected president or the migration crisis erupted. If the values and ideals of equality, freedom, and democracy are to survive, the Empire that has long championed them must seek a new path for the twenty-first century.
