Gratte-ciel is a choral tale of Algerian youth under fire. Starting with
"Plan Obus", an urban planning project fantasized by Le Corbusier as early as 1931, a multi-voiced journey through the history of contemporary Algeria unfolds.
Alger, the ghost city of colonization under the guise of utopia.
Alger, springboard for a dream of emancipation.
Alger, a medium of memories, between chases and wars of liberation.
"In this book, I take hold of a memory that was not passed on to me. I've tried to translate the violence and, at the same time, the beauty with which all these stories then came to me."
