From Library JournalThis is the moving story of a Tunisian woman, Horia ElGharib, and her struggle to maintain the integrity of her ancestral land during the French occupation and the government that followed colonial rule. The tale is narrated by her son in a mixture of styles: narrative (with long, descriptive chapters at the start), epistolary (as the drama unfolds), and staccato (ex tremely short chapters) as we near the tragic end. The skillful translation is faithful to the original's delicate and evocative language, filled with poetic analogies reminiscent of the Koran. Motherhood and motherland are poignantly interwoven in this work, whose author is so evidently at one with his land. This is Tunisian writer Tlili's fourth book.

Like the town whose citizens assert their fraternity and human dignity when confronted with an epidemic in Camus's La Peste , Lion Mountain is an isolated North African village whose inhabitants are called upon to resist the plaguelike infiltration of a tyrannical State. The village is a harmonious gemeinschaft ; its mosque which instills spiritual wellbeing, stream which irrigates the fields, and heritage bequeathed by warriorlord ancestors, govern everyone's lives. Horia ElGharib, the fiery, devout heroine who embodies the town's values, resists the satanic Party that invades this innocent Eden, obstructing nature, replacing God and imposing Westernization. Examining Tunisia under French rule and after independence in 1956 in this thinly veiled historical novel, Tlili's moral message may be old news, but his fresh, imaginative descriptions empower this work with magic, myth and poetry.Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
