Ramzi Toufic Salamé (July 17, 1953, (Lebanon) – ) is a writer and painter of Lebanese origin.

Biography

Salamé's parents were Lebanese immigrants in Liberia, but his early years were spent in Lebanon. He studied management studies at the American University of Beirut and law at the Saint Joseph University.

Literary career

He wrote the following works in French.[1][2] They have been translated into Arabic.

  • Le Prince des cyniques, édition FMA, Buchet Chastel, 1999
  • Trésor, édition FMA, 2003
  • La pierre m'a parlé, édition FMA, L'Harmattan, 2005
  • La Caste supérieure, édition FMA, L'Harmattan, 2007
  • La République des Paysans, édition FMA, L'Harmattan, 2011

His novels criticize a society dominated by selfishness and careerism where man is managed by his instincts of power and domination. His writing is "simple and straightforward. He relies heavily on dialogue to convey his ideas, rather than narration or description".[3] His work is a historical study in the guise of a novel.[4]

Salamé has listed Gerard Mordillat, Sun Tse, Jacques Baudouin and Guillaume Musso as his literary influences.[5]

Art

Salamé's paintings depict serene nature in cheerful and lively colors, in a personal and naive style.[6]

He has exhibited in Lebanon, Paris, Switzerland and Belgium.
