1 334 ans av. J.-C. Akh\u00e9naton r\u00e8gne sur l’\u00c9gypte, tandis que le jeune Tout\u00e2nkhamon se pr\u00e9pare \u00e0 lui succ\u00e9der. Mais Akh\u00e9naton dispara\u00eet… et, avec lui, son h\u00e9ritage, qui serait myst\u00e9rieusement englouti par les sables gisant sous le site du Caire actuel et les grandes pyramides de Gizeh…
1 885 ap. J.-C. Un homme \u00e0 moiti\u00e9 fou affirme l’existence d’un labyrinthe enfoui sous Le Caire, et d’un r\u00e9seau de canaux, palaces et tombes. On ne le croira pas pendant pr\u00e8s de 30 ans… jusqu’\u00e0 la d\u00e9couverte du tombeau de Tout\u00e2nkhamon en 1924.
De nos jours. L’arch\u00e9ologue Jack Howard et son \u00e9quipe fouillent l’un des plus impressionnants sites sous-marins jamais d\u00e9couverts. C’est alors qu’ils entendent parler de l’histoire de l’ing\u00e9nieur fou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avis :<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

En l\u2019espace de six ouvrages, David Gibbins<\/em> est parvenu \u00e0 proposer une approche m\u00e9ticuleuse du monde de l\u2019arch\u00e9ologie. S\u2019appuyant sur des faits av\u00e9r\u00e9s et des th\u00e9ories plausibles, ses intrigues insufflent un parfum d\u2019aventures au fil de myst\u00e8res s\u00e9culaires. On songe \u00e0 la d\u00e9couverte de l\u2019Atlantide, \u00e0 des \u00e9nigmes religieuses ou aux secrets de la cit\u00e9 de Troie. Afin de donner le change, Jack Howard s\u2019avance comme l\u2019arch\u00e9type du scientifique aux multiples talents. Plongeur \u00e9m\u00e9rite, arch\u00e9ologue de renom, il est devenu un personnage notable de ce type d\u2019ouvrages, semblable au Dirk Pitt de Clive Cussler<\/em>. Comme le titre le laisse pr\u00e9sager, Pharaon<\/strong> propose une incursion dans l\u2019\u00c9gypte antique, du moins est-ce l\u00e0 les intentions initiales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De mani\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, lorsqu\u2019on se penche sur une \u00e9poque, un lieu ou m\u00eame un sujet, l\u2019objet du r\u00e9cit est cens\u00e9 occuper le c\u0153ur de l\u2019histoire, sinon de focaliser l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat du lectorat. En d\u2019autres termes, si un roman \u00e9voque la Chine ancestrale, on ne s\u2019attend pas \u00e0 se retrouver plong\u00e9 dans la France du Moyen-Age. Le trait est un peu forc\u00e9, mais l\u2019on constate ce probl\u00e8me avec la pr\u00e9sente intrigue. En lieu et place de partir sur les traces d\u2019Akhenaton, on se perd rapidement dans le d\u00e9sert du Soudan. Dans une certaine mesure, il est toujours int\u00e9ressant de mettre en parall\u00e8le deux \u00e0 trois \u00e9poques, de cr\u00e9er des lignes narratives qui permettent d\u2019appr\u00e9hender un lieu commun en fonction d\u2019une temporalit\u00e9 dissemblable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qu\u2019il s\u2019agisse d\u2019une volont\u00e9 ou d\u2019une maladresse, Pharaon<\/strong> d\u00e9laisse bien vite le propos initial pour le rel\u00e9guer \u00e0 un simple pr\u00e9texte. Au d\u00e9part, on distingue pourtant une alternance \u00e9quilibr\u00e9e entre les diff\u00e9rents points de vue. Cependant, la progression oublie l\u2019\u00c9gypte antique et la p\u00e9riode contemporaine. Pour rappel, cette derni\u00e8re constitue le fil directeur du r\u00e9cit. Or, la partie d\u00e9di\u00e9e \u00e0 la guerre des mahdistes supplante toute autre consid\u00e9ration \u00e0 tel point qu\u2019on peut remettre en cause la pertinence de l\u2019id\u00e9e de base. Les s\u00e9quences qui impliquent Jack Howard ne pr\u00e9sentent qu\u2019une importance minoritaire, soit moins du tiers du roman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00e8s lors, il faut se contenter de descriptions laborieuses et de d\u00e9tails surfaits quant \u00e0 l\u2019organisation d\u2019une mission de sauvetage et au contexte houleux du Soudan \u00e0 la fin du XIXe si\u00e8cle. On a aussi droit \u00e0 plusieurs digressions sur les ant\u00e9c\u00e9dents des militaires et leurs parcours respectifs. Cela sans oublier une multitude d\u2019\u00e9l\u00e9ments techniques et d\u2019hypoth\u00e8ses g\u00e9opolitiques qui ne trouvent gu\u00e8re d\u2019\u00e9cho dans la suite des \u00e9v\u00e8nements. Malgr\u00e9 la densit\u00e9 du texte, la plupart des passages font office de remplissage. L\u2019architecture des chapitres p\u00e2tit d\u2019une structure al\u00e9atoire et lancinante. \u00c0 de trop nombreuses reprises, on a l\u2019impression de consulter un cours d\u2019histoire, sans vie. On est bien loin des pr\u00e9c\u00e9dentes aventures de Jack Howard\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afin de rattraper cette approche chaotique et d\u00e9cevante, on aurait pu esp\u00e9rer un raccourci narratif avec la pr\u00e9sence de l\u2019a\u00efeul du protagoniste, John Howard. \u00c0 croire que l\u2019auteur a oubli\u00e9 cette possibilit\u00e9, car il est \u00e0 peine \u00e9voqu\u00e9 en fin d\u2019ouvrage. Les myst\u00e8res qui entourent Akhenaton en restent au stade de la simple exposition, tandis que les p\u00e9r\u00e9grinations des personnages principaux pr\u00eatent \u00e0 peu de cons\u00e9quence. Cela vaut autant pour leurs ambitions scientifiques que pour la confrontation avec certains \u00e9l\u00e9ments perturbateurs. Au-del\u00e0 d\u2019une progression d\u00e9cousue, les tenants et les aboutissants ne peuvent m\u00eame pas satisfaire \u00e0 une simple nouvelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au final, Pharaon<\/strong> est une incursion d\u00e9cevante \u00e0 bien des \u00e9gards. Cette septi\u00e8me aventure de Jack Howard se r\u00e9v\u00e8le trompeuse quant \u00e0 son contenu. \u00c0 la rigueur, le roman aurait pu emprunter le titre de Khartoum afin d\u2019\u00e9viter une d\u00e9sillusion de cette envergure. De l\u2019\u00c9gypte antique, on n\u2019entrevoit qu\u2019un horizon de sable \u00e0 la fronti\u00e8re soudanaise, ainsi que de furtives allusions en d\u00e9but d\u2019ouvrage. Pour ne rien arranger, la progression s\u2019av\u00e8re laborieuse, percluse d\u2019errances et de d\u00e9tails sans int\u00e9r\u00eat. L\u2019atmosph\u00e8re du Moyen-Orient n\u2019est jamais pr\u00e9gnante ou \u00e9vocatrice d\u2019un d\u00e9paysement aventureux. En somme, un thriller historique hors sujet et poussif, affubl\u00e9 d\u2019explications faciles et contestables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
