About this deal

This blog is dedicated to book reviews, everything related to literature, travel as well as reflections on art and slow living. Arka kapak yazısı ilgimi çektiği için (Albert Camus ve Antoine de Saint Exupery dahil pek çok ünlü yazarın kariyerine yön vermiş yayıncı ve editör Edmond Charlot’nun yayıncılık serüveni) uzun zamandır okuma listemdeydi ancak fiyatını çok pahalı bulduğumdan satın almak istememiştim. Mixing past and present, reality and invention, history and intimate everyday life, Kaouther Adimi leads us with finesse and simplicity through the alleys of an imaginative city and gives life to the novel of a ferryman of books and ideas who was, perhaps without knowing it, the secret creator of much of the best literature of the twentieth century.

Above all, its a homage to the spirit of collaboration - more exactly to collaborativeness, a word which brings a red underlining from Microsoft but which describes the spirit of collaboration (rather than just the action) and avoids the negative wartime associations). Yeni yazarlar keşfetmelerini ve Camus’nün Tersi ve Yüzü’nü almalarını sağlamaya çalıştım, ama hiç umurlarında olmadı. When there was initial talk of integrating the schools we read excerpts from a report issued at the time saying the schools could never be integrated because of the horrible psychological impact upon a French boy if a native boy received better marks than the French boy did!

The backdrop to these literary endeavors is far from ideal, permanent money and paper shortages culminate in the company of the main character in 1948 for 22 million francs in the red, despite publishing famous authors. Ama bu fiyat politikasına devam ederse Delidolu’dan gerçekten merakla beklediğim bir şey çıkmadığı sürece herhangi bir şey almayı düşünmüyorum.

No tengo ninguna lectura entre manos por lo que también ha llegado ese momento tan especial y bonito, el de escoger una nueva lectura.

A book spanning the history of late colonial and early post independence Algeria, through a bookseller. During WWII he was also publishing for the Free French movement in contrary to the laws of Vichy France. Elle met en scène des personnages ayant des rapports variés vis-à-vis des livres et de la littérature, d'un côté nous avons Edmond Charlot et ses amis qui en sont férus, et de l'autre nous avons Abdallah et Ryad qui n'aiment pas lire, mais contrairement à Ryad, Abdallah aimerait préserver les livres dont il a été le gardien durant de longues années, dans cette librairie qui était devenue son foyer.

Ryad does not like reading and is almost afraid of writing; for him, books are just a source of mites and dust. Find your next must-read with the Serpent’s Tail newsletter and discover gripping crime and mystery from Viper Books. L'auteure nous fait voyager dans le temps (passé et présent) et dans l'espace (les deux rives de la méditerranée). El pueblo argelino, en masa, adquiere gracias a Adimi una representación necesaria, una plataforma donde escenificar la historia sangrienta de un país menospreciado por los franceses desde la violenta apropiación de sus tierras y que fue arrastrado interesadamente al conflicto bélico en nombre de una patria que después se desentendió.With her award-winning novel, the young Algerian author succeeds in paying homage to literature and being an outstanding sponsor.
