«Les nostres riqueses» is the novel by Kaouther Adimi about the legendary bookstore of Edmond Charlot in Algiers, published by Edicions del Periscopi in paperback (192 pages, in Catalan).
In 2017, a student is tasked with emptying a small bookstore in Algiers that is to become a fritter shop. The story intertwines with that of the premises founded by Edmond Charlot in 1936, a meeting point for writers such as Saint-Exupéry, André Gide and Albert Camus, and with the young man's literary and emotional education.
It belongs to the Antípoda collection (number 31), translated into Catalan by Anna Casasas. Winner of the Prix Renaudot des Lycéens 2017 and with a special mention from the Premi Llibreter 2019.
For readers who enjoy novels about books, memory and the cultural history of the Mediterranean.
