Khaled, a former revolutionary in the Algerian war of liberation has been in self-exile in Paris for two decades, disgusted by the corruption that now riddles the country he once fought for. He has become a celebrated painter, and at the opening of one of his exhibitions, Hayat, the daughter of his old revolutionary commander, unexpectedly reenters Khaled&#8217;s life. Hayat had been just a child when he last saw her, but she has now become a seductive young novelist.Khaled is consumed with passion for her, and she comes to embody the homeland and the city he still grieves for \u2013 the city he paints over and over again in his canvases. Through Hayat, his past is breathed back into life and he at last begins to confront his feelings about Algeria. But for Hayat, as elusive as she is tender, the question of what one should yearn for is not so simple, and the choices she makes will have devastating consequences for them both.<\/p>\n<p>The first novel in an award-winning, bestselling trilogy that spans Algeria&#8217;s tumultuous recent history,\u00a0<i>The Bridges of Constantine<\/i>\u00a0is a lyrical and heartrending love story about loss and remembrance, exile and belonging.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mod about\">\n<header>\n<h2>Reviews<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<section>\u201cRemarkable, insightful &#8230; The elegiac quality is present not just in the themes, but also in the astonishingly poetic language throughout \u2026 I stopped and marvelled every few pages &#8230; This is one of the richest and most evocative books that I have read all year, I only hope we don&#8217;t have to wait too long for the two sequels to\u00a0<i>The Bridges of Constantine\u00a0<\/i>to be published in English.

suspension bridge and viaduct, built over 100 years ago by the French, carry cars to and from the old town.\u00a0 Yet the bridges which fascinate most are those slim, precipitous pedestrian bridges.\u00a0 Often close to a thousand feet above the gorge the residents seem blithely unaware of this chasm directly beneath them and often haggle with street vendors as they cross.<\/p>\n<div

Phoenician city to begin with, known as Sewa \u2013 the Royal City.\u00a0 Then it was taken in to the kingdom of Numidia and re-named Cirta.\u00a0 The Romans inevitably arrived, calling the place Colonia Sittlanorum and renaming it Constantine who rebuilt it years after a calamitous civil war. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, it was conquered from the Byzantines by the Arabs in the 7th Century who called it Qusantina.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\">\n<p><a class=\"external\"

again in the 12 century under the Almohads and Hafsids and then became (on and off) part of the Ottoman Empire.\u00a0 Finally it was ruled by a series of Turkish governors who created links between Constantine and places such as Genoa and Venice.\u00a0 The French captured the city in 1837 and returned the city (and the surrounding territory) to its Romanic name which it kept after Algerian independence was declared in 1962.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\">\n<p><a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/henck\/4570792671\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img

another claim to fame (bridges and local culture aside).\u00a0 Whereas you may have thought that the cause of malaria would be discovered in a European or American laboratory it was in fact here in this far flung city that Charles Laveran discovered the protozoan parasites.\u00a0 In 1880, he had treated a soldier who subsequently died of the disease and Laveran took a blood smear which he studied, and was the first person to observe these tiny life-destroyers.\u00a0 He won a Nobel Prize for his discovery in 1907.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\">\n<p><a class=\"external\"
