An Iraqi student waits in Beirut for the moment to settle accounts while remembering how the war forced him to leave Baghdad and take refuge in Kafr Karam. The humiliation of his father during a search by American soldiers and other tragedies of the occupation feed his hatred; in the ruined capital, his desperation turns him into prey for fundamentalist networks.
«Las sirenas de Bagdad» belongs to the trilogy «La trilogie du malentendu», along with «Las golondrinas de Kabul» and «El atentado»; the original title is «Les Sirènes de Bagdad».
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in the Iraq War and in the conflict between East and West.
Mohammed Moulessehoul, better known by the pen name Yasmina Khadra, is an Algerian author living in France, who writes in French. One of the most famous Algerian novelists in the world, he has written almost 40 novels, and has published in more than 50 countries. Khadra has often explored Algerian and other Arab countries' civil wars, depicting Muslim conflicts and reality, the attraction of radical Islamism to those alienated by the incompetence and hypocrisy of politicians, and conflicts between East and West. In his several writings on the Algerian war, he has exposed the regime and the fundamentalist opposition as the joint guilty parties in the country's tragedy.
