Anyone heard about an author طاهر وطار ؟ named
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله تعالى و بركاته.
Last year I got about 15 books [ a whole collection] of new books of an Algerian author named طاهر وطار , honestly I only got them because my mother said he was a great author and 15 books for such a cheap price [ less than 3000 if my memory doesn't fail me ] . I want to introduce myself to our literature . Is he famous ? I have absolutely no clue who he is , what he writes or anything .
So if any of you ever heard about it , and what are the titles that I should start with as an introduction ? I remember picking once a random book but found it extremely boring
start here with the Wikipedia article, to understand a bit of his background and his views at the time. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tahar_Ouettar)
We have some of his books at home, my dad reads them, i didnt, but i can sure ask him and give u a report abt him, and if ur not a reader i think u should keep reading till u get to the exciting part, each book has a boring begenning so, u gotta be patient and read, still depends on the writting style of the authors though
I am a reader , and I really want to connect back with Arabic literature and discover our own authors. Please ask him who he is [ I have no clue ] and if he has any recommendations of his books or even another Algerian author
No problem i will, i would advice u with ربيعة جلطي i read her books and i liked them, pretty basic but fun novels, and there is أسامة مسلم a saoudian authors, i loved his fantasy series theyre pretty good if ur into that kind of novels
Yeah he is famous. You might find his books confusing because he writed about ideology and politics in a literature way.
