Produktbeschreibung

The novel tells the story of an educated young African male who moved from his homeland by boat in a long terrible voyage to Britain, then Japan, and eventually to the USA with the American dream of a better life in his mind. In every place, he made different experiences, discovering people, languages, and cultures, but in every place he went, he finished up by being alone. In the middle of the story, he fell in love with an English girl and tasted many terrible experiences (different jobs, a prison experience, a famous writer experience). All his experiences end by many failures. He is a selfish man guided only to one truth: his individual talent. It is because of such selfishness that he was lost. He was unable to see the real achievements he started before traveling to Europehis job, his family, his girl, and everything he gained in his native land in North Africa. He followed his own truth, that of being a man of literature, regardless to the harm he may cause to himself and his North African people.

Autorenporträt

Khaled Hafdhi is an experienced secondary English teacher in Tunisian schools. He was born in 1975 in El-Hamma, Gabes, in the South of Tunisia. He was attracted by English literature since he was a very young student though the Tunisian culture is poor in terms of English books. Tunisia is a francophone country, and English is a third language. Khaled was attracted by English, and after he got his art baccalaureate in 1995, he chose to study English literature and joined the Tunisian faculty of social and human sciences in Tunis. He ended his academic studies by obtaining a maîtrise in the English language and literature. He has started teaching English since the year 2000, but his career as an English writer had started so long before-when he was a student. He began the writing of his first novel, entitled Alone Everywhere, in 1998, and it was achieved in 2013. He is a playwright as well as a poet. He published his play, entitled I Can't Stand Alone, and his first collection of poems, entitled Orphan Meditations, in 2015.
