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 manyfaceted work is travelogue, fiction, stylized memoir, and essay on art. Fromentin paints a compelling word picture of Algeria and its people, questioning Francesand his ownrole 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 nonWestern 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, writerand human being.Now available for the first time in English, Between Sea and Sahara appeals to todays reader on many levelsas a story of color, romance, and dramatic tension; as an eywitness account of the colonial experience in Algeria; as a study in transgenre text, foreshadowing Fromentins psychological masterpiece, the novel Dominique. And, as Valrie Orlando points out in her introduction, Fromentin opens a window on the ethos informing the fashion of Orientalism that flourished with colonialism.
