The Dove’s neck-ring
An Andalusian author using his personal experiences and his friend’s too to deliver a masterpiece on “pure love.” The one born from a game of stares, tapping into the deepest parts of our emotions to give to our partner our consideration and devotion, until the inevitable moment of separation.
Note from Safar Editions:
Ibn Hazm delivers a surgical, almost philosophical and theological meditation on how to love, written in the tenth century. We particularly love that this book is an ode to chivalry, an admiration of our partner in a world where empathy, kindness, and respect tend to disappear.

The Story of Zahra
Zahra’s mother uses her as a cover for her meetings with a lover; Zahra’s strict father mistreats her for being complicit in her mother’s affair. Fleeing from Beirut in search of solace, Zahra stays with her uncle in West Africa—and then uses marriage as another kind of escape. Back in Beirut, love finally comes to her, but with terrible consequences. Banned in several Middle Eastern countries since its original publication, The Story of Zahra is an intoxicating, provocative story of a young woman’s coming of age in a city torn apart by war.

Noces (suivi de L’été)
The sun is shining, to the point that people are suffocating. No, they are living. Freely. Enjoying the taste of ice cream while walking down the streets of Alger, wearing clothes that turn boys into gentlemen.
Some others are doing nothing but lying down on the rocks and the sand. The exquisite taste of summer is infectious enough to make bodies stop and do what Albert Camus tries to instill in our mind: to enjoy the moment. To enjoy the world.
This book is without a doubt one of the few books embodying the spirit of Safar Editions. Feeling the world with your senses, enjoying the simple pleasure. Enjoying the emotions running slowly through your body.
