My Father's Rifle

Translated from French: Heval Bucak
- < p>A childhood in Kurdistan
“My Father's Rifle” is published in nearly twenty languages, from Japanese to Catalan“The extraordinary quality of the book is due to several factors: The vividness of the scenes depicted (the author is also a director and ”), the reality of the characters who populate the book and who are portrayed as they are, with their strengths as well as their weaknesses and ridiculousness (the author says: 'The fact that we are a people who have suffered much does not prevent us from being people like others'). ; The atmosphere of the book, which is never whiny and full of energy and even the joy of living despite the horrors. It feels like nothing will ever deter this little boy (and not even his family). It is not a primary propaganda book aimed at defending the Kurdish cause.
It is much more humane than that.
