Description: A son speaks of his father, a child with a lively look in a Tunisia under a protectorate. The little boy in the medina, supported by his teacher, finally realizes his dream of becoming a lawyer. Around him, preponderant and indigenous cross without intermingling, craftsmen of the souks and Maltese coachmen are busy in a world that staggers on the crest of chaos. The two world conflicts, the Resident General's iron hand, independence, were all convulsions to face side by side for father and son. Between confrontation and connivance, their attachment is unspeakable in a society that imposes the modesty of feelings. A touching tribute to father and childhood, Ali Bécheur offers here, over two generations, a crossing of the magisterial and intimate century.--Translation of back cover.
Notes: Novel.
