«Le voyageur de minuit» is the poetic tale by Sayd Bahodine Majrouh, published by Phébus in 1991 in paperback (208 pages, in French).
First instalment of Ego Monstre, the Afghan author's principal work, composed of a hundred parables set in an imaginary country recognisable as his homeland, besieged by unsettling chimeras. Written before the Soviet invasion of 1979, the text combines political denunciation and reflection on the human condition, with the search for beauty as a counterpoint to violence. The edition includes the French translation by Serge Sautreau.
The work comprises two mirror-books, and this volume is the first. Sayd Bahodine Majrouh (1928-1988) was a poet and spokesman for the Afghan resistance; he was assassinated in Peshawar in 1988.
Suitable for readers interested in translated Persian or Afghan literature.
