Presentation

Why Asia and the maritime areas?

Asia

" Everything east of the Aegean », Herodotus

This broad definition of Herodotus refers to the vastness of the Asian continent and its diversity. Asia is a plural space, marked by both sustained economic and demographic growth and less dynamic spaces. This fragmented continent concentrates development issues and faces political, security and environmental decisions at the heart of international geostrategic concerns. Asia has undoubtedly become the new center of gravity of the world. Its study constitutes an essential subject for our century.

Maritime spaces

" The tears of our sovereigns have the salty taste of the sea that they have ignored ”, Cardinal de Richelieu. 

The sea covers 71 % of the earth's surface. Privileged support for the circulation of goods, people, ideas but also for the projection of powers since Antiquity, the sea is today a support for globalization. It represents 90 % of total world trade flows as well as 98 % of communications. Finally, seas and oceans are laboratories for science and climate and ecosystem change. Their preservation and better knowledge are all issues of balance for our societies.

Understanding Asia and the maritime areas together, in their extent and complexity, allows us to have a global reflection on the world.

Goals

Capit Muscas Editions wishes to contribute to informing the public, to their better understanding of the world and more particularly that of Asia and the maritime areas. Our publishing house wishes to encourage free thinking and open to the world.

For this, it offers maps on current events, or explaining past significant events. It also offers essays and analytical books on the world, Asia and the sea.

Story

Capit Muscas Editions was founded in 2019 by Pierre Brousse. Its name reflects its mission. "Capit Muscas" is taken from the Latin proverb " aquila non capit muscas', which means "the eagle does not chase flies". This proverb reflects the disinterest in trivialities and the need to be interested in current issues that matter. These characteristics constitute the vocation of the publishing house as well as its specificity.
