Review of A Dream For Peace
In this book, titled A Dream for Peace, Dr. Ghoulem Berrah passionately recounts his life's accomplishments and tribulations. He describes Constantine, Algeria, where he was born. They were all proud of their family, despite the fact that they were not wealthy. His mother, Lalla Zebida, was his father's fourth wife. His father's first two wives had died, and he had divorced the third.
The colonists, he claims, treated native people in his home country cruelly. The colonial government was characterized by racism and bigotry. Dr. Ghoulem Berrah worked tirelessly and selflessly to free them from the oppression of colonialism. He speaks of his caring mother, who was always concerned about his well-being and was always supportive of him. He worked hard in school and received great academic grades in order to realize his aim of freeing Algerians.
From one page to the next, the tale in the book becomes more exciting and intriguing. The tale was well-crafted, and the plot was well-developed. The language utilized is not difficult to understand, making the entire story easier to understand. This book has all the qualities that a decent book should have. There isn't a single thing about it that I don't enjoy. The book's unraveling events are unfathomable and vividly described.
The book's writing style was my favorite element. It's simple, transparent, and intimidating. The action and flow of the plot had me immersed until I finished the book. In the story, the characters were mentioned and developed explicitly. The book's title is evocative and conveys a clear picture of how amazing the book is. The book has 17 chapters and is around 630 pages long.
The memoir of Dr. Ghoulem Berrah explores a variety of themes. Revolution, liberation, nepotism, racism, motherhood, love, hate, colonialism, education, religion, friendship, marriage, and politics, to name a few, are among the themes explored. Furthermore, the book includes both colored and non-colored pictures. While reading the book, these images elicited a variety of feelings. The author's meaningful life, as told in this book, is a source of inspiration.
Lalla Zebida, the author's mother, was my favorite character in the book. She was kind, compassionate, and motherly. She even managed to overcome the pressure from many men who came to marry her after her husband died. Mr. Millet is the character in the narrative that I liked the least. He was a ruthless racist and a stooge of nepotism. He singled out Berrah, for example, because he was the only Algerian in the class.
The book's editing was meticulous. I didn't find a single mistake in the book. I give it 4 out of 4 stars since it was an intriguing, engaging, and error-free book. Furthermore, I would recommend it to memoir book fans of all ages. It will also appeal to fans of non-fiction books.
