Do not steal the gunpowder! is a realistic historical fiction. It is a description and contemplation where war and songs mingle, strength and weakness, city and oasis, light and darkness, Haida and De Gaulle. A historical fiction where the sun laughs, the mountain speaks, the palm trees act, the rain whispers, the birds celebrate and the waters roar. A world described by a style that overflows with beauty and sweetness. It is also a historical fiction haunted by the forgotten Sahara, where the oppressed and the brave who made History express themselves without being able to write it effectively. A historical fiction that revisits the history of Algeria’s occupation, and proposes new lines of reflection.
