Nerabdatorii
Aflat la granita dintre roman social si roman psihologic, Nerabdatorii scriitoarei algeriene Assia Djebar face o radiografie exacta a mentalitatii musulmane si a schimbarilor ce se petrec in structura ei la impactul cu civilizatia europeana, avand drept punct de reper o familie araba mic-burgheza din Alger. Tanara Dalila, o nonconformista atat prin fire cat si prin educatia europeana primita in scoala, se razvrateste impotriva conditiei de inferioritate a femeii arabe si incearca "cu nerabdare" sa-si caute propriul drum in dragoste si in viata.

Der Roman erschien 1958 und hat den Feminismus, Selbständigkeit moslemischer Frauen zum Thema. Damit passt er auch in die heutige Zeit. Dalila setzt sich in der Familie durch, geht allein aus dem Haus, wählt selbst einen Mann, sagt zu einem Heiratsangebot ja. Den Standpunkt, dass sie selbst entscheidet und ihr Leben wählen will, setzt sie in Ihrer algerischen Familie durch. Dem Geliebten Salim folgt sie nach Paris. Ihr Verhalten passt jedoch nicht zu den patriarchischen Vorstellungen von Salim. Der Roman endet mit einem Verbrechen und der Rückkehr Dalilas zur Familie. Die Geschichte lässt sich aufgrund ihrer Sogwirkung in einem Zug lesen.
