«Les Passeurs de livres de Daraya - Une bibliothèque secrète en Syrie» is Delphine Minoui's chronicle, published by Seuil in paperback (160 pages).
Between 2012 and 2016, Daraya, a rebel suburb of Damascus, endured an implacable siege. Some forty young activists unearthed thousands of books from the rubble and created a clandestine library in a basement: their peaceful resistance through reading in the face of war. Delphine Minoui reconstructs this story via Skype with those activists.
The book is catalogued under History and its text is in French; the original edition was published on September 19, 2017.
For readers of non-fiction, contemporary history, testimonies about the Middle East, and stories of civil resistance.
Delphine Minoui is a French journalist specializing in the Iranian world.
