pointless article.

fatima zohra barkach Posted 2006-10-27

I hope that, just as our great poet Kebbani who felt dizzy reading you, you will also feel dizzy reading me. I feel very close to Mrs Mme Ahlam as a writer, and I love her...............

Afrah Posted 2006-12-16

Ahlam is one woman of a kind. she has inspired me to move forwrad and believe in my passion as a woman to change the ideals of false behaviour in our society as arabs, and muslims, and yes the one way forward is education and a highly driven passion, and determination, in order to come out of our pain and realise our past and present with dignity.

ماجد بن عبدالعزيز Posted 2007-02-04

I still take many interesting stories from her...you have changes the path of my life...which led to an improvement of my writings influenced by Mestaghanmi style...she has what she wants...God protect you Ahlam!

hamid Posted 2007-03-05

Perfume evaporates, i can smell it inside me, it is the memory of flesh, it evaporates, it is chaos of senses, i can smell it in the bed, in my memory, this is ahlam, this is our Algerian perfume.

khalifa Posted 2007-03-13

You're really a giant in algerian and arab literature, thanks and I wish you success

قارئة Posted 2007-04-09

I read the trilogy of the creative author Ahlam and I liked so much the way she linked the three parts.

Anonymous Posted 2007-04-15

"Memory of a body" is the nicest nicest thing I read this author is great really great

رشا نخلة Posted 2007-04-18

To tell the truth I only read 'Chaos of the senses' and it was very very great, I'll read her other novels soon.

سعاد+نبيلة Posted 2007-04-30

This person is an example for Arab society in general and Algerians in particular.

بريق الصمت Posted 2007-05-08

To discover the essence of life and the baseness of people around you, but nothing heals your agony except her words I didn't have a friend to lose and she became a friend without meeting her

فايزه Posted 2007-05-22

Hats off to you.

Ahmed Posted 2007-05-28

I would like your telephone number, Ahlame. I need you so we can talk about love, life, separation and the meaning of our existence after a separation.

مجاهد Posted 2007-05-29

Glory all the glory to the nice thoughts and warm feelings. The best thing in the world is the world itself and the nicest thing in life is life itself, and the greatest thing in them is that angelic, sweet, warm and flowing feeling

باسم Posted 2007-06-17

The novelist Ahlam Mosteghanemi is truly a human novel, she was created to be read and written. A poem lurks beneath her prose. She is not restricted by language. Her letters flow in either direction. She writes about the other and for the other. She writes for the bledding homeland, in peace and war. She writes for man, the good and the bad. She writes about love, existing and nonexistent ...???

رشا نخلة Posted 2007-06-23

I only read the novel Chaos of Senses, it's really amazing, I deeply lived every word in the novel. Ahlam is a great writer... I wish her success.

بحر Posted 2007-06-23

I visited Algeria after reading Ahlam Moustaghanemi, is there any better evidence to the influence of her amazing literature?

اريج جراد Posted 2007-07-01

She's not a common writer, she's not a common human being, I'm hoping that you embody my ideas in a man so that I marry him, your so lofty and how nice and bright is your vision of life, you give hope in a better future and a more faithful lover. I like your audacity Ahlam because writing is impossible without it and because it's far away from all other spects, may God grant you success, and go ahead!

حور عين Posted 2007-07-23

I like so much the novels of Ahlam, I live inside them namely 'Memory in the flesh'.

هالة Posted 2007-08-26

Great, the splendor of her dream.

ميسون رحمه Posted 2007-10-15

Ahlam Mousteghanemi is the only writer to whom I read all writings, she talks in a nationalist spirit, emotional, reasonable, transparent. The best thing in her style is her offer of advice and judgment to the reader smoothly without noticing it... God bless you and ahead inchallah.

Amal Posted 2007-10-26

Ive read both Memory in the flesh and chaos of the senses and I'm looking for her 3rd book " passer by a bed" but I can't find it. I'd really love to read her 3rd book since the first two were so excellent.If anybody knows where I can buy it please tell me. And for Mohammad who posted a comment about finding her novels, I purchased Memory in the flesh and chaos of the senses from Amazon. They came in a bundle. Enjoy

قاسم العلام Posted 2007-11-08

I can’t describe my feelings when I was reading the women's novel, because it made me discover the expressed and hidden dimension in the woman. I can understand the rebellion of an author and the surrender of another. But I don’t appreciate the disclosure by an author, her revolt, obstinacy, rebellion and confessions. She is simply playing on the cord of the sixth sense in front of which the genius remains confused. Ahlam is mere dreams, some of which are realized while some aren’t. I wish to read all her other novels and poems.

AMAL Posted 2007-11-16

Ahlam Mostaghanemi isn't just a writer who addresses the minds but also a poet inspiring the hearts and stirring feelings.

حليمة Posted 2007-11-26

I love you, love your art. I respect you like a sister and even like the respect for the nation. I've decided to come out of my silence and say that I adore you with premeditation. Halima, Costantine, Algeria.

عايدة Posted 2007-12-04

The pen doesn’t know what to write about Ahlam, as if she were a big dream flowing about us and to us. The words are barely speaking and saying to us 'here we are, and happy'. The words and I are fighting to say what I can about her. Anyway, I tell you- the important part is that she’s here.

محمد التل أبو ملحم Posted 2007-12-07

To she who occupied my memory forever, to the human poet whose novels I read many times and every time I feel that I read it for the first time and discover a new pulse of life. To the inheritor of Nizar and Ahmed Chaouki, to the daughter of Algeria, the free Algeria of love and freedom, the grand-daughter of the leader Abdelkader the Algerian...I send my greetings with so much love and respect to the poet Ahlam Mostaghanemi.

نبيلة زيتوني Posted 2007-12-24

Whatever is said about you is little. You’re great I admire you so much. You’ve amazed us, since I read your trilogy, I can’t read any of your other novels with a lower quality…You’re truly fascinating, you’ve fascinated me with your words and your dreams that are in reality our own dreams. We are all waiting for your new works.

زيتوني Posted 2007-12-26

When I read an Arab novel written in the language of Ahlam or Tayeb Saleh in the 'Season of immigration to the North' only because she wrote one day, but those that envy her didn't publish it. Ahlam Moustaghanemi, more success our Ahlam.

مريم Posted 2008-01-20

If I were shaken one day, it's by the chaos of your senses, if I still have any dream, it's the dream to meet you. If I show any pride some day, it's because I'm Algerian like you, if I felt that someone is expressing what I feel and understands me, it's through your novels, I love you, you're my source of inspiration and I adore you.

يوسف Posted 2008-01-29

Thank you for the website.

مبارك ابعازي Posted 2008-02-02

Ever since the first collection ‘On the harbour of memory’ and then ‘A moment of nudity’, I realized that these books aren’t to the required level namely because they’re premature writings. But 'Memory of the flesh’ disturbed the world of literature and came in the place of many novels and was sold in incredible numbers. Its editions to 2004 reached 19 editions. Sometime after that, the novelist issued the second and third parts under the titles 'Chaos of senses' and 'Bed visitor'. What characterizes the trilogy is its textual game which is mixed up with other texts. beginning from the Algerian popular heritage, then the Western culture and finally the memory of Arab culture. It is great. It certainly and absolutely reminds us of the great works of the western literature.

Visiteur Posted 2008-02-10

I would not say all of them, but there are certain comments here that are hypocritical and misplaced. Those who say the article is not important because it talks about an unimportant person are one example.

فاروق Posted 2008-02-20

Ahlam is a scientist who discovered the meaning of life.

منذر الاسود Posted 2008-03-01

Your words touch the marrow Ahlam…you’re as our poet says passing through all seas in the novel Memory of the flesh…and you also touch our Palestinian suffering…The militant experience of our Palestinian suffering…The militant experience is very similar to our Palestinian revolution…its mercenaries and opportunists are numerous.. while the militants are in the base. Congratulations Ahlam, and congratulations for your creativity.

AHLEM Posted 2008-03-11

Hi, It is thanks to you, my dear Ahlem, that I like my name! I can never forget my first impression of you, when, in the winter of 2000, I was finally able to read the “La mémoire de la chair” (“The Memory of the Flesh”). It spoke to me of all my details, my insecurities, my obsessions. The dream of my life is the day I get to meet you.

شاكر الحوكي Posted 2008-03-14

Ahlam is an example of the Moroccan woman we love. In her historical, social, political and even psychological conscience, in her commitment to Arab and Islamic causes namely the Palestinian cause, in her belief in the Arabic language and in her sensitive voice. Its traits are far from feigning, exaggeration and fatal weakness. As to the importance of her novels, it lies in the fact that they embody all of this, and they are a mere tool to converse with the world and impose her self. My greetings to all those who followed her way only.

med.taga Posted 2008-03-17

"The Anarchy of the Senses" (“L’Anarchie de sens”) by Fawad Al Hawass blew me away. Since the time I read it, I have had a lot of respect for our Arab authors in general and for those of the Arab Maghreb in particular. Ahlam Mosteghanemi, the woman’s passion that he is, lived both under colonialism and in independence and was able to reflect upon the feelings and the pain felt by the women of the Arab Maghreb, and, more especially, and the contempt they felt towards them. I would shake him by the hand.

امال Posted 2008-03-19

Ahlam Mostaghanemi is one of Algeria's most sublime personalities. She has presented her country in the best way. Moreover, her novels are very nice and the best thing a person can read for both meanings and lessons. As an author, she succeeded in transmitting an honest and positive image of Algerian women. I wish Ahlam Mostaghanemi success in her career as an author. I hope that she will entertain us with more novels. Thank you.

احلام هاني Posted 2008-03-23

I didn't know her before nor had I heard anything about her. But the title of the book drew me in and made want to read it: “memory of the flesh”. I read it and I was unconscious of any word I was reading because she fascinated me from the beginning. Love is what happened between us and literature is everything that has not happened. I felt that this novel was written for me, a story which I haven’t lived, but which I lived while reading it. I felt every word written in it, when I finished it I told everyone I know about it and suggested they read it. I even obliged them to do so! And when I found “Chaos of the Senses” I understood that it was destiny that I be acquainted with Mostaghanemi once again as it has acquainted Khaled (Ziane) with Hayat on the cover of a magazine and as it has acquainted her with the journalist Khaled in an airport under a constraining condition which acquainted me with the “visitor of a bed”. I love you Ahlam and love all your heroes. I wish you more success.

فوفو Posted 2008-03-25

A sentence written by Ahlam Mostaghanemi which fascinated all readers is: “Freedom is that you expect nothing”. Perhaps not all readers managed to grasp this because it is hidden between the lines of Chaos of the Senses. I observed it when I was reading the book for the third time. I felt it and felt how fascinating it was because I am waiting for two things in this life. The first is to read something new from Ahlam. the second is to return to my dear country Palestine. I wish you more great and transparent literature and more readers because this results in more cultural and sensory awareness between people. I wish you success. May God protect you and keep you.

رنا عاشقة احلام Posted 2008-03-27

I read all the novels of Ahlam and learned by heart all her books in my memory. I was living her condition, it made me get away from my world and sorrows to fly with my dreams with Ahlam.

Waheed Posted 2008-04-26

Please please may you help me? I want to complet my studing to get maste of education so I have look for the novel "memory in the flesh" in My country (Yemen) but I did not find it. So could you please tel me from which websit can I download thi novel or may you help me and send it to my e-mail: Thanks for your assistance

لامية احمد Posted 2008-05-08

I was very happy to get acquainted with this personality which embodies the history of her country and writes in the classical Arabic in spite of the conditions she has experienced. I ask God Almighty to grant her good health, wellness and prominence.

عاشقة الحب والوطن Posted 2008-06-11

When I read ‘Memory of the flesh’ I tasted the feeling of the nation and sacrifice. When I read ‘Chaos of the senses’ I tasted the feeling of death and determination. When I read ‘Visitor of the night’ I tasted the feeling of love. With you, our dreams are pink and in the same degree of our sorrow, falling in the mazes of the memory of these dreams which remained for a long time like the winds. The sun has seen your eternal novels.

محمد من المغرب Posted 2008-06-17

How great are the words of Ahlam. She is not writing words. She is rather firing bullets, bombs and Molotov cocktails full of love, the love for man and the nation. She is talking in “Memory of the flesh” about the Algerian resistance and the changes witnessed by Algeria. But when you read it you find out that she is talking about Algeria, Morocco and all the countries which are experiencing today the consequences of direct colonization and which are still under the yoke of colonization indirectly. A greeting, a thousand, rather a million and a billion greetings to the great novelist Ahlam.

عبير Posted 2008-07-10

All I can say is that it is the greatest novel I read and the sweetest words I read. They describe our feelings. The nicest thing I read is “Before this day, I thought that we can’t write about our life until we are recovered from it…When we touch our old injuries with a pen, without feeling the pain again…when we can look back without nostalgia, without madness and without grudge…Is this really possible? We are never recovered from our memory…This is why we write…This is why we draw…This is why some of us die as well”…

rabahah Posted 2008-07-13

Indecent literature. A provocative call to immorality and depravity. The issues of domestic adultery are summed up into universal wishes and chained relations propelled by love. How easy it is to scorn the Arabic reader! Because he is simply following everything western. The history of Arabic literature is full of depraved figures. I think that the cause of all this is the deterioration of public taste. Here I remember the verse of the poet: “when will the thirsty reach water if the sea is supplied from wells? When will the base be discouraged from a goal if the elite are sitting in the corner? If the tops and bottoms are mixed up, companionship from Death is nice. Where are your dreams of the Taouk Al Hamam, in Alfa Wa Alilaf by Imam Ben Hazm. Where are you from “Said Al Khatir” by Ibn Al Jaouzi, “Raoudat Al Mouchtakine” by Ibn Al Qaim? Where are you, the authors of poetry collections of enthusiasm, Al Manfalouti, Hafid Ibrahim? You and others like you are doomed to fly into the void in order to misguide the creatures of God and to be programmed in a specific way. God is witness.

Fayçal Posted 2008-07-20

Hello, I had the pleasure of reading Ahlam’s trilogy. It was truly a sort of magical pleasure. I would like to read it in French. I have looked everywhere, even in France, but in vain. Can somebody help me? Thank you in advance

monia bousselmi Posted 2008-09-05

Ahlem; You must be a dream from the world of creation! You must not be real because reality has never been able to attain such a mixed transparency this deep in the ocean. I discovered in you the deadliest person in my life. My best friend is faithfully fighting a cancerous villain. Lebanon burnt out two thousand life lights, and my family life went with them. Like a coward, I had only tears that raced like seeds down into my soul. When a friend of mine saw that I was incapable of being consoled, she offered me your trilogy. It was a godsend. Who is God Almighty? You wiped away my tears, you empathised with my friend, you gave us hope that Lebanon would bloom again, as would my life! You did this all through words, nothing but words!

faiza otmani Posted 2008-09-22

Honestly, I am speechless. You are superb, Ahlem! Hats off a thousand times over! I truly adore you. I did my thesis last year on your novel “Memory of the Flesh” (“Dakirat El-Djassed”) and I got the best grade. I will never forget you. -Faiza
