    A ';sharply satirical' novel about an oppressive religious dictatorship and one man's discovery of an underground resistance (Library Journal). 2015 Winner of the Le Grand Prix du Roman de l'Academie franaise A tribute to George Orwell's dystopian classic 1984 and a cry of protest against totalitarianism of all kinds, Boualem Sansal's 2084 tells the story of a near future in which religious extremists have established a caliphate that forbids autonomous thought. In the year 2084, in the kingdom of Abistannamed after the prophet Abi, earthly messenger of the god Ylahcitizens submit to a single god, demonstrating their devotion by kneeling in prayer nine times a day. Remembering the past is forbidden, and an omnipresent surveillance system instantly informs the authorities of every deviant act, thought, or idea. The kingdom is blessed and its citizens are happy, filled with purpose and piety. Those who are notthe hereticsare put to death by stoning or beheading in city squares. But Ati has met people who think differently: In ghettos and caves, hidden from the authorities, exist the last living heretics and free-thinkers of Abistan. Under their influence, Ati begins to doubt. He begins to think. Now, he will have to defend his thoughts with his life. 2084 is ';a rare, powerful book, at the intersection of fable and lampoon, of satire and science fiction,' a cry of freedom, a gripping novel of ideas, and an indictment of the kind of closed-minded fundamentalism that threatens our democracies and the ideals on which they are founded (Lire). ';Alison Anderson's deft and intelligent translation [conveys] Sansal's abhorrence of a system that controls people's minds, while explaining that the religion was not originally evil but has been corrupted. A moving and cautionary story.' The Times Literary Supplement ';A powerful novel that celebrates resistance.' The Guardian

    "[A] masterly investigation of evil, resistance and guilt, billed as the first Arab novel to confront the Holocaust" from the Nobel Prize-nominated author (Publishers Weekly).Banned in the author's native Algeria, this groundbreaking novel is based on a true story and inspired by the work of Primo Levi.The Schiller brothers, Rachel and Malrich, couldn't be more 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 the similarities end there. Rachel is a model immigrant-hard working, upstanding, law-abiding. Malrich has drifted. Increasingly alienated and angry, a bleak future seems inevitable for him. But when Islamic fundamentalists murder the young men's parents in Algeria the destinies of both brothers are transformed. 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."The German Mujahid deals with the fine line between the destructive power wielded by Islamic fundamentalism today and the power of another movement that left an indelible mark on history: Nazism."-Haaretz (Israel)"With extraordinary eloquence, Sansal condemns both the [Algerian] military and the Islamic fundamentalists; he decries that Algeria crippled by trafficking, religion, bureaucracy, the culture of illegality, of coups, and of clans, career apologists, the glorification of tyrants, the love of flashy materialism, and the passion for rants."-Lire (France)"The German Mujahid, winner of the RTL-Lire Prize for fiction, is a marvelous, devilishly well-constructed novel."-L'Express (France)

    Tera, en klanleder i Mesopotamien, når frem til, at hans søn er en reinkarnation af profeten og patriarken Abraham, og i 1916, mens Første Verdenskrig hærger, sætter klanen sig for at drage gennem Mellemøsten i forsøget på at gentage den gammeltestamentlige profets indstiftelse af den Pagt, som blev grundlaget for jødedommen, kristendommen og islam. Hensigten er at genskabe menneskenes forening i den bibelske gud og lægge grunden for en ny tid og en ny menneskehed.Med Første Mosebogs beretning om Abraham og hans families gerninger som bagtæppe tager Tera og hans klan af sted på en bibelsk færd gennem Mellemøsten. Det er en færd, der fører dem gennem to verdenskrige samt en kold krig, og som ender med den genfødte profets død mod slutningen af det 20. århundrede. Undervejs bliver klanen vidner til Osmannerrigets fald efter Første Verdenskrig og englændernes og franskmændenes kolonisering og opsplitning af Mellemøsten og de mange følger, disse begivenheder fik for regionen. Målet for klanens profetiske rejse er at finde frem til det forjættede Kanaans land, hvor Det Gamle Testamentes gud viste sig for Abraham.
