À cinq ans, en Algérie, Samia comprend qu’être née fille n’apporte que honte. Dans une riche famille musulmane dominée par un père violent et une mère soumise à la tradition, on la marie de force à seize ans à un homme beaucoup plus âgé. Un régime de terreur s’installe: battue, violée, sommée d’obéir, elle ne trouve aucun secours auprès des siens. Alors que le pays bascule dans l’intégrisme, devenue mère de six enfants, elle n’a d’autre choix que de fuir pour sauver les siens, surtout ses deux filles, d’une culture qui leur refuse tout droit.

Afryka w oczach Tadeusza Biedzkiego, pół wieku po opisaniu przez Ryszarda Kapuścińskiego, jawi się okrutniejsza niż u wybitnego pisarza. Afrykańskie problemy, dramaty i tragedie są dziś większe, bardziej przerażające. Biedzki w ciągu trzydziestu lat wędrówek dotarł do miejsc, gdzie było niewielu białych (przypuszczalnie jako pierwszy Polak był u źródeł Nigru). Pisze o porywaniu i zabijaniu dzieci przez czarowników, gwałceniu i mordowaniu albinosów, o chorobach, duchach i szamanach, losie białych, miłości i seksie, o szokujących obliczach wojen i o tym, czego najbardziej pożądają Afrykanie.

Three years after his death at 91, J.D. Salinger remains our most mythic writer. The Catcher in the Rye (1951) became an American classic, and he was for a long time the writer for The New Yorker. Franny and Zooey and Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters introduced, by way of the Glass family, a new type in contemporary literature: the introspective, voluble cast of characters whose stage is the Upper East Side of New York. But fame proved a burden, and in 1953 Salinger fled to New Hampshire, spending the next half century in isolation.
