Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. At the age of twenty Mohamed Choukri takes the momentous decision to learn to read and write, and joins a children's class at the local state school in Tangier. When not at school he hangs out in cafes, drinking and smoking kif. Some nights he sleeps in a doss-house, but mostly he sleeps in mosques or on the street. He befriends many 'lowlife' characters, while the cafe habitues help him with his Arabic and the local prostitutes take him home, providing some human solace. Choukri's determination to educate himself, and his compassion for those with whom he shares his life on the streets is heartfelt and inspirational.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. 2nd Revised edition. Driven by famine from their home in the Rif, Mohamed's family walks to Tangiers in search of a better life. But things are no better there. Eight of Mohamed's siblings die of malnutrition and neglect, and one is killed by Mohamed's father in a fit of rage. On moving to another province Mohamed learns how to charm and steal, and discovers the joys of drugs, sex and alcohol. Proud, insolent and afraid of no-one, Mohamed returns to Tangiers, where he is caught up in the violence of the 1952 independence riots. During a short spell in a filthy Moroccan jail, a fellow inmate kindles Mohamed's life-altering love of literature. A cult classic, For Bread Alone is an astonishing tale of human resilience and an unflinching and searing portrait of the early life of one of the Arab world's most important and widely read authors.

Tales of Tangier
Book 57 of 69: The Margellos World Republic of LettersLanguage: English
Published by Yale University Press, US, 2023
ISBN 10: 0300251351 ISBN 13: 9780300251357
Paperback. Condition: New. The complete short stories of acclaimed Moroccan author Mohamed Choukri, translated into English and collected in one volume for the first time A World Literature Today Notable Translation of 2023 "Choukri is one of Morocco's most revered figures. . . . To have his words translated is to have the privilege to view the inner world of his intellect and the obscured landscapes of Tangier."-Noshin Bokth, The New Arab Mohamed Choukri's vivid stories invite the reader to wander the streets of Tangier, the ancient coastal crossroads between Europe and Africa, and to meet its denizens at markets, beaches, cafés, and brothels. Choukri's Tangier is a place where newborns are for sale, swindlers hawk the Prophet's shoes, and boys collect trash to sell for food. Choukri says that "writing is a protest, not a parade." And in these thirty-one stories he privileges the voices of those ignored by society: the abused, the abandoned, the addicted. The tales are at once vibrant local vignettes and profound reflections on the lives, sufferings, and hopes of Choukri's fellow Tangerines.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. For much of the twentieth century, Tangier stood at a crossroads of cultures, creativity and chaos. Its labyrinthine streets and vivid contradictions attracted adventurers and artists, forming the backdrop of an era of literary and cultural revolution. At its heart was Mohamed Choukri, a self-taught writer whose life epitomised resilience and transformation, rising from illiteracy and hardship to become one of Morocco's most celebrated voices.In Tangier captures Choukri's memories of the city and his encounters with luminaries Paul Bowles, Jean Genet and Tennessee Williams, whose lives intertwined with his own. Against the evocative backdrop of 1970s Tangier, Choukri offers readers a glimpse into the complex personalities of these iconic figures while painting a portrait of a city teetering between past and present.A mesmerising blend of memoir and cultural history, In Tangier celebrates the spirit of a city and its indelible mark on literary history.
