The man who crosses the wall

This famous short story collection is an literary masterpiece representing the pinnacle of French magical realism, and despite decades passing since its publication, it still provides much reading enjoyment and literary amazement. In the streets of Montmartre and during the German occupation of France, writer Marcel Iméh delves into the hidden lives of unknown people to liberate with his satirical poetic imagination at times and sharp at other times, extraordinary events, intimate situations, and social conditions caused by social disparity, ignorance, and false beliefs. The story "The Man Who Crosses the Wall" - undoubtedly - the most famous short story by Marcel Iméh. First published in 1943, it includes, in addition to the story bearing the same title, other short texts. Iméh's stories are enjoyable and smooth, filled with insightful perception and feelings supporting love, justice, and beauty. I almost forgot how much Marcel Iméh possesses a sharp writing style full of accuracy and humor to criticize the flaws of men and women alike. Sometimes he distorts language and plays with morality, writing bloody as Wāsaj and delicious as sugar cubes. Author: Marcel Iméh Publisher: Sadrā Publishing and Distribution Number of pages: 218
