Le Gone du Chaâba is an autobiographical novel by the Franco-Algerian writer Azouz Begag, published in 1986. The story narrates the author's childhood in a shantytown on the outskirts of Lyon, France, during the 1960s. Through the eyes of young Azouz, the reader experiences daily life in the Chaâba, a world of poverty, solidarity, and dreams of a better life. The novel explores themes such as identity, immigration, integration, and the struggle for education in a multicultural context. With simple and emotional language, Begag offers a moving look at the reality of Algerian immigrants in France and their search for a place in society.
