Sur les cendres de Carthage

Synopsis
A collection of poems in French, published in 1952 under a title that evokes the ashes of the Punic city. The volume, of nearly two hundred pages, carries the poet's portrait at the front, and two illustrations outside the text accompany it.
Context
The collection was published in 1952 in Saint-Étienne, by Éditions de la Pensée française, in a single octodecimo volume of one hundred and ninety-eight pages, with a portrait of the author, an illustrated cover and two plates by Hatim el Mekki. The Bibliothèque nationale de France holds a copy, under the author name Abd-al-Majīd Tlatli, and records no other edition and no other title by the same poet.
Who it is for
A poetry collection in French, rare; today it can only be read in a library.
Prizes and reception
