The White City of Algiers

By Pierre Corbelli

Dive into the rich and moving pages of the autobiography of Pierre Corbelli, a man whose life has spanned over seven decades marked by history, family, and an exceptional career.

Born in 1930 in Algiers, Corbelli shares his journey from childhood in the streets of Bab-el-Oued to his retirement, offering an authentic and touching testimony. This book, carefully reissued in 2005, presents the preface where Corbelli shares his motivations for writing despite the challenges of age. The self-taught author and professional accountant reflect on the difficulties of his career while contemplating his personal life. Later, Angelo, Pierre's great-grandson, took over this narrative, giving rise to a physical book and an English translation. This masterful transition has helped preserve and share Corbelli's legacy on a global scale.

Discover the man behind the words, an artist who embraced painting and sculpture, leaving a unique artistic imprint. His reproductions of great masters and his own works testify to a creativity that transcends the barriers of time. Let yourself be carried away by Corbelli's profound reflections on life, family, and work. Through his eyes, explore yesterday's Algeria, feel the emotion of exile, and share the joy of a well-lived life.
