But things are no better there. Eight of Mohamed's siblings die of malnutrition and neglect, and one is killed by Mohamed's father in a fit of rage. On moving to another province Mohamed learns how to charm and steal, and discovers the joys of drugs, sex and alcohol. Proud, insolent and afraid of no-one, Mohamed returns to Tangiers, where he is caught up in the violence of the 1952 independence riots. During a short spell in a filthy Moroccan jail, a fellow inmate kindles Mohamed's life-altering love of literature. A cult classic, For Bread Alone is an astonishing tale of human resilience and an unflinching and searing portrait of the early life of one of the Arab world's most important and widely read authors.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: BiographyEdition: 2nd Revised editionLanguage: EnglishTopic: Literary CriticismItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 223gRelease Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
