"Between Sea and Sahara" gives us Algeria in the third decade of
colonization. Written in the 1850s by the gifted painter and
extraordinary writer Eugene Fromentin, the many-faceted work is
travelogue, fiction, stylized memoir, and essay on art. Fromentin
paints a compelling word picture of Algeria and its people,
questioning France's--and his own--role there. He shows French
dynamism tending to arrogance, tinged with malaise, as well as the
complexity of the Algerians and their canny survival tactics. In
his efforts to capture the non-Western world on paper as well as on
canvas, Fromentin reveals much about the roots of a colonial
relationship that continues to affect the Algeria of today. He also
reveals his own development as painter, writer--and human being.
Now available for the first time in English, "Between Sea and
Sahara" appeals to today's reader on many levels--as a story of
color, romance, and dramatic tension; as an eyewitness account of
the colonial experience in Algeria; as a study in trans-genre text,
foreshadowing Fromentin's psychological masterpiece, the novel
Dominique. And, as Valerie Orlando points out in her introduction,
Fromentin opens a window on the ethos informing the fashion of
Orientalism that flourished with colonialism.
