Algeria
Books in this genre are set in or about Algeria.
Algeria is a North African country with a Mediterranean coastline and a Saharan desert interior. Many empires have left legacies here, such as the ancient Roman ruins in seaside Tipaza. In the capital, Algiers, Ottoman landmarks like circa-1612 Ketchaoua Mosque line the hillside Casbah quarter, with its narrow alleys and stairways. The city’s Neo-Byzantine basilica Notre Dame d’Afrique dates to French colonial rule.

Raise my astral body to the space
And may the angels take me to higher plains
To the density where poets are gods,
Where my poems won’t be in vain
Look at the cities from up high
And see how bright Algiers can shine ;
To tell myself that, you, where you are,
You are the most sparkling light.

حبُّ الوطنِ شُعورٌ رَاسخٌ في النفسْ،
لا يشوبُهُ عكرٌ أو دنسْ،
هو شيئٌ من ذَاتي، وجزءٌ من حَياتي،
وسيظلُّ حاضِرا في كتابَتي، في غُرْبتي، حتى مَمَاتي.
