Preparing to leave for work one morning, Youssef al-Firsiwi finds a mysterious letter has been slipped under his door. In a single line, he learns that his only son, Yacine, whom he believed to be studying engineering in Paris, has been killed in Afghanistan fighting with the Islamist resistance. His comfortable life as a leftist journalist shattered, Youssef loses both his sense of smell and his sense of self. He and his wife divorce and he becomes involved with a new woman. He turns for support to his friends Ahmad and Ibrahim, themselves enmeshed in ever-more complex real estate deals and high-profile cases of kidnapping. Meanwhile Youssef struggles to reconnect with his father, who, having lost his business empire and his sight, spends his days guiding tourists around ancient Roman ruins. Shuttling between Marrakech, Rabat and Casablanca, Youssef begins to rebuild his life. Yet he is pursued by his son's spectral presence and the menace of religious extremism, in this novel of shifting identity and cultural and generational change.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - En la presente antología el lector va a encontrar una selección equilibrada de la poesía que actualmente se está escribiendo en Marruecos y Andalucía: sus tendencias, sus apuestas personales o sus decisiones creacionales.Una pléyade de poetas que representan el rico y variado caleidoscopio de escritores contemporáneos de ambas orillas, su pluriforme manera de entender el hecho creacional, la diversidad y la pluralidad de voces singulares que cohabitan en el conjunto de generaciones, escuelas o grupos líricos que acampan en los confines de ese legendario continente sentimental o matria de la emoción que abraza y abarca ambos territorios y que hoy se hace más luminoso desde esta almenara , desde este lugar de la luz que resplandece, más si cabe, gracias a la emoción que nos ofrecen los poetas.
