About this deal

The back cover informs the reader that this volume encompasses Sattouf’s early years of going to school in Syria. La vie paysanne et la rudesse de l'école à Ter Maaleh, les courses au marché noir à Homs, les dîners chez le cousin général mégalomane proche du régime, les balades assoiffées dans la cité antique de Palmyre : ce tome 2 nous plonge dans le quotidien hallucinant de la famille Sattouf sous la dictature d'Hafez Al-Assad. An interesting story, in which the confrontation of different cultures seems to be the central theme. Both The Arab of the Future and La Vie Secrète des Jeunes are written from Sattouf's point of view, with the former describing his childhood and the latter his daily observations as an adult. These opening autoportraits underpin the events that will follow as told through the eyes of the child who experienced them.

Excellent… An authentic, emotionally honest memoir and a useful background reading for present events. Jérémie is the story of a young sentimental and unstable youth growing to adulthood and is partly autobiographical.Vendue à plus de 3 millions d'exemplaires et traduite en 23 langues, elle raconte l'enfance et l'adolescence de l'auteur, fils aîné d'une mère française et d'un père syrien. I assume Sattouf’s father has read his work (presumably he understands French, if he lived in France long enough to start a family). Basic line drawings are black and white, and a general color tint signifies the location of the events.

Bon, on perçoit toujours l'ego démesuré de l'auteur hein, mais il a l'air d'en avoir conscience, c'est un début.Parce qu’une autre personne (ou vous) est en train de lire Le Monde avec ce compte sur un autre appareil.
