رواية "خطوات في الاتجاه الآخر : لحفناوي زاغز العنف يعانق جمالية الإبداع

Abstract EN

Violence descended on Algeria and crouched on its people for a long time during the last nineties.

It was a national tragedy that writers were so related to its precarious reality that it appeared in their painfully wounded writings.

Their texts embodied the devastation that struck the Algerians' hopes, and made them live ten years under the weight of terrorism that has neither religion nor belief, and only allies blood slogan.

Hence, the importance of this article, in which we stand on describing the aesthetic of violence that embraces novel creativity.

We spot the light on “Steps in the Other Direction” of Hafnawi Zaghez, which expresses the state of loss and wandering that the political hero Najm al-Din lived through.

The novel also pictures the pressures experienced by politicians in office and imposed by terrorist organizations at that time, hoping to find a place in the government through them, to facilitate the implementation of their bloody plans.
