Novel, 190 pages 

Amin Zaoui's new novel about social wrenches in Algeria.

Amin Zaoui is already published in ten countries.

The novel 

During the years of terror in Algeria, a teenager is kidnapped by a group of uncivilized Islamists and
kept into the bush. While abandoning himself to his reveries, he fills various orders. Among them :
listing names of journalists suspect of anti-islamic opinions in the press, while the figures of his aunt
Rokia who left for Istanbul to live an adventurous life and of his father who translated the Quran in
berber keep assailing him. Why is he detained there ? Is there any links between all those people ?

Press review about his previous novel Festin de mensonges
"Built according to an abyssal structure and a poetic spell-binding, this superb novel by Amin Zaoui
innovates with the bare wounds of the tribe and terrors of ransacked childhood. Staggering!"
Rachid Boudjedra, El Watan
