This collection consists of four texts written in 1936 and 1937 and published in 1950.
"The Marriages in Tipaza": A young man, child "of a people born from the sun and the sea," sings the joy of life and his pride in being able to love unconditionally.
"The Wind in Jemila": In the tragic décor of a dead polity swept by the wind, the author expresses "his conscious certainty of a hopeless death." Yet even the horror of this death will not distract him from his thoughts.
"Summer in Algiers": A psychological description of a city without a past, that ignores the notion of virtue, yet possesses its own morality, where its people find "throughout their youth a life in accordance with their beauty."
"The Desert": The author discovers that the bond uniting a person with their life, in a world whose beauty will fade, is "the double awareness of his desire to endure and his fate to die."
