Full description for Mi Marruecos

  • In this poignant work of biographical fiction, the narrator Abdellah, a grown man living in Paris, recalls his childhood home of Morocco, sharing his cherished earliest memories with the reader. The product of the twin riverside cities of Rabat and Sale--places touched by modernity but still rife with poverty--the protagonist shares his knowledge of the different currents that imbue these cities with life, as well as their numerous Moroccan mysteries: witches, the hamman, the baraka, and the ziara. As he recounts his upbringing in Morocco, with all of its people, its secret influences, its views on luck and destiny, and its fortunetellers and saints, Abdellah discovers that his love for the place is as strong as it ever was. "En esta conmovedora obra de ficcion biografica, el narrador Abdela, un hombre ya adulto viviendo en Paris, recuerda su pais natal de Marruecos, compartiendo sus memorias mas tempranas y queridas con el lector. El producto de las ciudades gemelas riberenas de Rabat y Sale--lugares tocados por la modernidad pero minadas aun por la pobreza--el protagonista comparte su conocimiento sobre las diferentes corrientes que le otorgan vida a estas ciudades, al igual que sobre sus varios misterios marroquies: los brujos, el hamman, la baraka y la ziara. A la medida que recuenta su infancia en Marruecos, con todas sus gentes, sus influencias secretas, sus opiniones sobre la suerte y el destino y sus adivinos y santos, Abdela se da cuenta de que su amor por el lugar sigue tan fuerte como siempre."
