Boxing offers one boy hope in cruel between-the-wars Algeria - but will it help him win the woman he loves?
Klappentext zu „The Angels Die “
Award winning author Yasmina Khadra gives us a stunning panorama of life in Algeria between the two world wars.
'A writer who can understand man wherever he is' The New York Times
Even as a child living hand-to-mouth in a ghetto, Turambo dreamt of a better future. So when his family find a decent home in the city of Oran anything seems possible. But colonial Algeria is no place to be ambitious for those of Arab-Berber ethnicity. Through a succession of menial jobs, the constants for Turambo are his rage at the injustice surrounding him, and a reliable left hook. This last opens the door to a boxing apprenticeship, which will ultimately offer Turambo a choice: to take his chance at sporting greatness or choose a simpler life beside the woman he loves.
