Pero, incluso convertida en biblioteca, el establecimiento no resulta fácil de mantener y al final, termina siendo vendido para convertirse en pastelería, muy a pesar del bibliotecario de ese momento, a quien le duele que la gente parezca haber dejado de interesarse por la literatura. En ocasiones me quedo allí inmóvil tanto tiempo que el camarero del café de al lado se alarma y me pregunta si va todo bien.

The reader gets the sense of the struggle to create culture and art in the face of cultural and political barriers (not to mention the financial realities that publishing is, at best, a break-even business). From that passionate little room, entitled to the "true riches" of life, the first editions of memorable texts come out, including the debut of young genius Camus. The author separates the story into three sections, most chapters having a first section based in the present day, a second section describing historical events of a specific period and the third section imagining the diary entries of Edmond Charlot for that period. Charlot was an advocate for Algerian independence and the story is peppered with historical incidents of violence and massacres during the war for independence.Küçücük kitabevinin kapısından Albert Camus, Antoine de Saint-Exupery,Andre Gide gibi nice isimler girdi. L'auteure nous fait voyager dans le temps (passé et présent) et dans l'espace (les deux rives de la méditerranée).

I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had been aware from the start that it was based on a real person (should have read the cover more carefully! Dal passato del 1936 con la figura di Emond Charlot sino all'Algeri odierna passando per le rivoluzioni che ne hanno minato il popolo, ma anche le tradizioni e gli usi.

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. The Financial Times and its journalism are subject to a self-regulation regime under the FT Editorial Code of Practice. 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.
