Richard Mahanna is a French-Syrian author, deeply shaped by the mysteries of life, the fragility of the human condition, and the silent dialogue between man and nature. Trained as a physician, he spent many years working in a world governed by facts, scientific rigor, and rational language-until the day a horse named Graal shattered his certainties and awakened in him another kind of truth: one that cannot be understood, only felt. Graal, Whisper of Silence is his most intimate work. Inspired by a true story, it marks a turning point in his path as a writer. A deep dive into what life can offer at its rawest: wordless connection, presence without expectation, love without possession. Richard Mahanna is also the author of several socially engaged, profound, and often visionary novels, including: - Destin Mosaïque (also published in Spanish as Destino Mosaico), - Entre deux extrêmes, - L'avenir nous le dira, - Le Prix de l'aveuglement, translated into English as The High Price of Denial. Each of his books explores, in its own way, the light and shadow of our shared humanity: our fears, illusions, bursts of beauty, the need to belong - and the longing to be free. His writing, both poetic and grounded, seeks to open spaces for reflection - and above all, for emotion. Today, Richard divides his time between words, meadows, and the inhabited silence of those who don't need to speak to be heard. He writes the way one breathes: to understand, to connect, to leave a trace... or simply to step aside before what surpasses us.
