Summary/Abstract: The two novels of Azouz Begag retrace the story of a writer of North-African origins and represent the starting point for explaining a personality in quest of its own literary and social identity. The autobiographical journey that Begag offers us in these novels means to him revisiting the social history of the group he belongs to, with its mentalities and customs and, at the same time, retracing the individual development since his birth under the sign of two cultures. To him, writing represents the instrument able to recover a certain indentity and its inner truth.
