Cette aveuglante absence de lumière : roman by Tahar Ben Jelloun FR
Description:
Avec ce roman, Tahar Ben Jelloun donne une interprétation littéraire de l'horreur et de l'oubli où furent tenus, dix-huit années durant, les prisonniers du bagne de Tazmamart, au Sud-Est du Maroc. Incarcérés après l'attentat manqué - et le massacre - de Skhirat en juillet 1971, les prisonniers de Tazmamart furent littéralement ensevelis dans le silence et dans l'obscurité, dans un lointain désert de sable. Enfermés, comme au temps de Louis XI, dans des cachots-tombeaux où nulle station debout n'était possible, ils vécurent dans sa plus inhumaine intensité la souffrance d'une mort vivante. Sur ... continue

EL ULTIMO AMIGO by Tahar Ben Jelloun ES
Description:
La novela es la historia de una amistad de adolescencia y su prolongación durante la vida de los dos protagonistas, narrada por cada uno de ellos, y finalmente por un tercer amigo.

Festín de sangre by Malika Moustadraf ES
Description:
Los cuentos de Malika Moustadraf atraviesan con crudeza las distintas capas del Marruecos de principios del siglo XXI y ofrecen una mirada de las complejidades de una sociedad que, desde lejos, puede parecer sólida y homogénea. Con un estilo brutal y personajes contradictorios, el sexo, la prostitución, la enfermedad y la corrupción se muestran como grandes traumas, especialmente para las mujeres, en un escenario donde también hay lugar para la esperanza y la ternura.
