That is something that never gets brought up in history, so this was the first time I have heard about this. Pequeñas riquezas es una librería que abre sus puertas a principios del siglo XX con mucha ilusión y con muchas ideas en mente por parte de nuestro personaje. This book has had a profound impact upon what I believe about the world, about myself, and about the role that literature and art plays within culture. Me enamoré de ese hombre que la creó, de toda la pasión que volcaba en su trabajo y de toda la lucha para que saliera adelante. Our Riches" is a fictionalized biography of book publisher Edmond Charlot, a window into mid-Twentieth Century Algerian history, and an expression of love of the written word.

Thanks to this contest, she was invited to Muret then Toulouse and finally Paris, where she met with les éditions Barzakh. Este pequeño universo humano, íntimo y empático emociona con su sencillez, claridad y cercanía; una auténtica declaración de amor a los libros y la literatura. Nuestras riquezas es una obra que estruja hasta la última gota, sin ningún tipo de remordimiento, ese pasteloso romanticismo que nos hace venerar la mera proximidad de un manuscrito.En conclusion, je dirai que j'ai aimé ce roman qui parle de livres, d'écrivains, de littérature, d'amitié et de lutte pour la réalisation d'un rêve, mais il n'a pas été un coup de cœur.

It served as a painting and sculpture gallery and he hosted events featuring local and visiting speakers. It explores the history of Algeria and, above all, a profession that cannot be understood without the love of books and that is fundamental for the survival of literature. Charlot was an advocate for Algerian independence and the story is peppered with historical incidents of violence and massacres during the war for independence. Seguro que muchos de nosotros hemos pensado más de una vez en dedicarnos al sector editorial o a los libros.El relato de Adimi, una biografía novelada del prestigioso editor parisino, está compuesto de tres hilos argumentales que se trenzan a lo largo de la obra hasta formar un delicioso y vibrante fresco donde la librería actúa como epicentro de la narración. I am pretty much a pre-sold believer in any books about books, libraries and publishing and I was completely captivated by Adimi's world building here of Charlot's life and of present day Algiers. The author's love for the city of Algiers, with its beautiful Mediterranean location, is sensed throughout the story. During WWII he was also publishing for the Free French movement in contrary to the laws of Vichy France.

Bu günlük aracılığıyla 1930’dan 1961’e kadar hem Cezayir’in kültürel ortamı hem yayıncılık dünyasında yaşanan sıkıntılar hem de Cezayir’in bağımsızlaşma sürecinde yaşananlar hakkında bilgi sahibi oluyoruz. Nuestro librero trata a toda costa de salvar su pequeño negocio y para cuando decide jubilarse la librería todavía sigue abierta.

Ama bu fiyat politikasına devam ederse Delidolu’dan gerçekten merakla beklediğim bir şey çıkmadığı sürece herhangi bir şey almayı düşünmüyorum. Nuestras riquezas, de la joven escritora Kaouther Adimi (Argel, 1986), pertenece a una especie de subgénero literario que nunca caerá en desuso porque se alimenta de un sentimiento imperecedero: sí, esa febril nostalgia que cualquier amante de la lectura ha experimentado al sumergirse entre las páginas de un libro que habla sobre otros libros.

The contemporary storyline is rather redundant compared to the interesting tale of Edmund (albeit he annoyed me a bit at times in the sense that he doesn't request help or tries to overcome his own lack of business sense). Their loyalties lie with the old man, Abdallah, who has been working there all his life and it had become his home.Mientras desaloja las pocas pertenencias que quedan allí, Ryad, un joven ingeniero recién llegado de París que no siente el más mínimo interés por la literatura, irá descubriendo —gracias, sobre todo, a los testimonios de los vecinos— la estrecha conexión existente entre la librería y las gentes del lugar. I'm not quite sure what to make of it all -- it's certainly evocative up to a point, and perhaps even moving to some readers as a celebration of those seeking to make space for art and writng, but I'm not sure that it's likely to connect with non-French or Algerian readers.
