" This book tells a very old love story between a man and a piece of architecture. Like everyone else, says Ravéreau, I was seduced by Ghardaïa before analyzing it. »
Manuel Roche

Having become a classic, this work retains all the power of its message even if, as its author feared, the M'Zab has since suffered the fatal attacks of the " modernization ". Ravéreau observed in the heart of the Sahara in the 1950s a community in complete harmony with a site of almost desert-like aridity, with respectful rules of life, developing an economy of sobriety and an architecture without effects, entirely embracing this balance.
The environmental themes addressed here, which have since become universal objectives, constitute a source of lasting inspiration.
