Opis

Mouloud Feraoun's Le Fils du pauvre (The Poor Man's Son) is a cornerstone of French-language Algerian literature. More than a novel, it is a vibrant testimony, a fresco in which the harshness of reality is interwoven with the unalterable hope that animates the human soul. His path to writing and publication was marked by obstacles, doubts and perseverance. To better understand this literary adventure, we need to enter the world of the author himself, exploring his thoughts through the traces he left behind. His Lettres à ses amis (1969) offers us this precious key, revealing the backstage of his creation and the challenges he faced. By immersing themselves in these writings, readers discover not only the man behind the work, but also the silent struggle he waged to make his voice heard in a world where writing was more than an act of creation: it was an act of resistance.
