The South Wind is the first Algerian novel written in Arabic, written by Abdelhamid Ben Haddouka in 1970.
Conditions of writing[edit]
Algerian literature has witnessed prolonged narrative-oriented anecdotal attempts, that tend to turn a novelist, and the first work of this kind was written by its owner in 1849, which is “The Tale of Lovers in Love and Longing” by Muhammad bin Ibrahim, called Prince Mustafa, and then followed by other attempts such as “Ghada Umm Al Qura” by Ahmed Reda Houhou, “ The Doomed Student” by Abd al-Majid al-Shafi’i, “The Fire” by Noureddine Boudjedra....[1] However, the serious emergence of a mature artistic novel was linked to the novel “The Wind of the South”, which was written by Abdel Hamid bin Haduqa during a period when there was a serious talk about the agricultural revolution, so he completed it on 11/5/1970, then the actual implementation of this project was on 8/11/1971. President Houari Boumediene inaugurated the first cooperative for the agricultural revolution in the village of Khamis El Khechna on June 17, 1972, then the first socialist village was inaugurated in Ain Nahala on June 17, 1975.[2]
plot[edit]
The novel begins on Friday morning, which is a market day, where Abed bin Al-Qadi prepares to go to the market with his son Abdul Qadir. Since the issuance of the decisions related to self-management regarding agrarian reform, then an idea came to his mind that made him happy when he looked from the outside at his daughter Nafisa’s room. Its content was summed up in marrying off his daughter to the owner of the sheikh of the municipality who is nationalizing the lands, at that time Nafisa was in her room suffering from narrowness. Feeling bored, she says I almost explode, I almost explode in this desert[3], then adds, "All the students rejoice in their holidays, but I spend my holidays in exile"[4], and suddenly Nafisa calms down from the state of turmoil, when she hears the sound of sad melodies played by the winning shepherd So she rejoices, and nothing comes out of it except for the voice of the old woman Rahma calling for her brother Abdul Qadir from afar, announcing her coming, to go with Khaira - a precious mother - to the cemetery, so the latter wants to go with them: “I wish, Aunt! I would like to see the world, because I suffocated in this prison.”[5]
A few days later, the village celebrates the inauguration of a cemetery for the sons of the martyrs who fell during the war of liberation. Abed bin Al-Qadi receives the people of the village in his house, wishing to influence Malik and reconnect their old relations. Malik was the preacher of Zulekha - daughter of Abed bin Al-Qadi - who was martyred during the revolution. When Malik and his companions from the Mujahideen prepared a mine that was supposed to target a military train, but it was a mistake that targeted a civilian train, Zulaikha was one of its passengers, which aroused the wrath of the son of Judge Fawzi with the group to the occupation forces. Abed bin Al-Qadi Malik to see his wife Khaira, because she hopes that from him, so he accepts her invitation, and when he enters the room, as soon as his eyes fall on Nafeesah, he is stunned by what he saw, she is very similar to her sister and his former fiancée Zulekha.
Abed bin Al-Qadi seeks to spread the news of Malik’s engagement to his daughter, Nafisa, despite Malik’s reservations. She announces the best of this news to her daughter, and she strongly refuses because she does not want to stay in the village, nor does she want to marry someone older than her and whom she does not know well, and when the father insists on his decision and fails to stop him, She seeks help from her aunt who lives in Algeria, and she writes a letter to her, asking Rabeh to carry her to the central village and put her in the mail. Rabeh admires her because she spoke to him kindly, and he thought she liked him, so he decided to visit her at night, and indeed he does, and when she finds him suddenly in front of her bed, she pushes him and curses him: “Get out of here, you criminal! You filthy shepherd, you filthy shepherd”[6], so he went out, bowing his head sadly, and that painful word kept resounding in his hearing, “You filthy shepherd,” and from that day he decided to leave grazing and work as lumberjacks.
Days pass and the father is still determined to marry off his daughter to Malik, so she thinks for a long time about a solution to her problem, so she thinks about claiming insanity and then committing suicide, and finally she chooses a final solution, which is “escape.” She sets up a tight plan to escape, and decides to implement her plan on Friday because the men go to the market While the women go to the cemetery, she comes out disguised as her father's prince, so that no one knows her. His mother is mute, and her father does not come out because she does not want to return “My father’s house I will never go back to”[7], but the news spreads in the village, so his father knows, and resolves to slaughter a winner. His mother rushes to an ax striking Abed bin al-Qadi on the head, and blood erupts from his head and from the neck of Rabih. That her attempt to escape failed.
