The German Mujahid

Based on a true story and inspired by the work of Primo Levi, The German Mujahid is a heartfelt reflection on guilt and the harsh imperatives of history The two brothers Schiller, Rachel and Malrich, couldn t be dissimilar They were born in a small village in Algeria to a German father and an Algerian mother, and raised by an elderly uncle in one of the toughest ghettos in France But there the similarities end Rachel is a model immigrant hard working, upstanding, law abiding Malrich has drifted Increasingly alienated and angry, his future seems certain incarceration at best Then Islamic fundamentalists murder the young men s parents in Algeria and the event transforms the destinies of both brothers in unexpected ways Rachel discovers the shocking truth about his family and buckles under the weight of the sins of his father, a former SS officer Now Malrich, the outcast, will have to face that same awful truth alone Banned in the author s native Algeria for of the frankness with which it confronts several explosive themes, The German Mujahid is a truly groundbreaking novel For the first time, an Arab author directly addresses the moral implications of the Shoah But this richly plotted novel also leaves its author room enough to address other equally controversial issues Islamic fundamentalism and Algeria s dirty war of the early 1990s, for example or the emergence of grim Muslim ghettos in France s low income housing projects In this gripping novel, Boualem Sansal confronts these and other explosive questions with unprecedented sincerity and courage.
