Abstrakt: "Le Silence des dieux" by Yahia Belaskri is a novel that delves into themes of political oppression and injustice within a remote desert village, drawing allegorical parallels to real-world struggles. The narrative follows the villagers' reactions to sudden confinement and the rise of a corrupt tyrant, Abbas, who divides the community. Through the characters' fates, including escapes and confrontations, the novel explores themes of resilience and resistance against oppression. Belaskri's incorporation of poetry and references to North African struggles adds depth to the universal message of enduring and resisting despite challenging circumstances.
