Algeria

Books in this genre are set in or about Algeria.

Algeria is a North African country with a Mediterranean coastline and a Saharan desert interior. Many empires have left legacies here, such as the ancient Roman ruins in seaside Tipaza. In the capital, Algiers, Ottoman landmarks like circa-1612 Ketchaoua Mosque line the hillside Casbah quarter, with its narrow alleys and stairways. The city’s Neo-Byzantine basilica Notre Dame d’Afrique dates to French colonial rule.

Albert Camus
You think about bathing in the sea – thick as velvet, supple and smooth as a wild animal. You think about swimming naked, and at night, with the stars, and a friend. Swim till you’re far from the world, and breathing together in the same rhythm, and free of absolutely everything.
Albert Camus, The Plague

Benarrioua Aniss
Raise my astral body to the space And may the angels take me to higher plains To the density where poets are gods, Where my poems won’t be in vain Look at the cities from up high And see how bright Algiers can shine ; To tell myself that, you, where you are, You are the most sparkling light.
Benarrioua Aniss, Sins of Algiers
