Amidst the bustle of Beirut, a young Iraqi student awaits the moment to settle scores with the world. He remembers how the American occupation forced him to leave his studies in Baghdad and return to his village, Kafr Karam, a quiet place disturbed only by coffee discussions until the war invaded everything. From there, death, humiliation, thirst for revenge, a Baghdad in ruins, corruption, and insecurity torment him, making him easy prey for integrist plots. This paperback edition has 368 pages and was published by Alianza Editorial.
Mohammed Moulessehoul, better known by the pen name Yasmina Khadra, is an Algerian author living in France, who writes in French. One of the most famous Algerian novelists in the world, he has written almost 40 novels, and has published in more than 50 countries. Khadra has often explored Algerian and other Arab countries' civil wars, depicting Muslim conflicts and reality, the attraction of radical Islamism to those alienated by the incompetence and hypocrisy of politicians, and conflicts between East and West. In his several writings on the Algerian war, he has exposed the regime and the fundamentalist opposition as the joint guilty parties in the country's tragedy.
