Né en 1978 d'un père syrien et d'une mère bretonne, Riad Sattouf grandit d'abord à Tripoli, en Libye, où son père vient d'être nommé professeur. Issu d'un milieu pauvre, féru de politique et obsédé par le panarabisme, Abdel-Razak Sattouf élève son fils Riad dans le culte des grands dictateurs arabes, symboles de modernité et de puissance virile. En 1984, la famille déménage en Syrie et rejoint le berceau des Sattouf, un petit village près de Homs. Malmené par ses cousins (il est blond, cela n'aide pas...), le jeune Riad découvre la rudesse de la vie paysanne traditionnelle. Son père, lui, n'a qu'une idée en tête : que son fils Riad aille à l'école syrienne et devienne un Arabe moderne et éduqué, un Arabe du futur. Ce premier tome couvre la période 1978-1984.
Pour les habitants de la basse ville, il est le Scorpion. Les hommes l'évitent, redoutant son épée plus virevoltante que la nuée de moustiques d'une chaude nuit d'été. Les femmes le cherchent, fascinées par la prestance de ce beau brun qui sait les aimer comme personne. Pour les habitants de la haute ville, il est Armando Catalano, l'homme à la perruque poudrée qui sait dénicher aux fins fonds des catacombes romaines les reliques des saints de l'antiquité et du Moyen âge que princes et évêques s'arrachent à prix d'or. Pour le cardinal Trebaldi, l'impitoyable maître des moines-guerriers, l'homme qui n'hésite pas à faire empaler dans son confessionnal un prêtre trop bavard, il est le témoin d'une époque maudite qui doit disparaître. Pour cela Trebaldi demandera à une gitane égyptienne experte en poisons de lui apporter la peau de l'homme qui porte sur l'épaule droite un tatouage en forme de scorpion. Tatouage infamant rappelant à tous que la mère du héros a péri brûlée vive sur le bûcher réservé aux sorcières. Mais la gitane manquera son coup, déchaînant la colère du Scorpion. Les murs du Vatican en tremblent encore.
