A photograph of the French writer, journalist and photographer David Hury is published in the French daily newspaper Libération (October 2 & 3, 2021) to illustrate an article of Alexandra Schwartzbrod about his novel "Mustapha s'en va-t-en guerre", published by Riveneuve Editions (Paris, 2021).

The photograph was taken in Beyrouth, in september 2014. All the portraits of David Hury are available at the Opale Agency.


Definitly a book to read for those interested in the former French colonial era. You can read more about the book on the website of the author.
