ARAB WORLD - Two winners of the Goncourt Arabic

Meeting in Abu Dhabi, the jury awarded the Booker Arabic for the first time the prize to two novels: The bow and the butterfly of the writer and politician and Moroccan Mohamed Achaari Necklace Dove Saudi novelist Raja Alem. For An Nahar, the two novels are very literary quality while dealing with topical issues highly sensitive.

The bow and butterfly evokes the consequences of religious extremism, not the West but in the Arab world, while the dove necklace which has the main subject of Mecca, reveals a city desecrated, where violence, corruption, prostitution and acts mafia eventually prevail on spirituality.
