Between sea and Sahara
an Algerian journal
by Eugène Fromentin
"Between Sea and Sahara gives us Algeria in the third decade of colonization. Written in the 1850s by the gifted painter and extraordinary writer Eugene Fromentin, the many-faceted work is travelogue, fiction, stylized memoir, and essay on art."--BOOK JACKET.
"Fromentin paints a word picture of Algeria and its people, questioning France's - and his own - role there. He shows French dynamism tending to arrogance, tinged with malaise, as well as the complexity of the Algerians and their canny survival tactics."--BOOK JACKET.
"In his efforts to capture the non-Western world on paper as well as on canvas, Fromentin reveals much about the roots of a colonial relationship that continues to affect the Algeria of today. He also reveals his own development as painter, writer - and human being."--BOOK JACKET.
