1. Amusing |
I love reading books. It is one of my favorite free time activities. I
read many books in Arabic, English and French. However, the best book I
read was “The Box of Wonders”. It is an autobiography novel written by Ahmed
Sefrioui who is a Moroccan novelist. This novel was
published in 1954. “The Box of Wonders” revolves around the
memories of the narrator. He remembers his lonely childhood and his
relationships with his family and his neighbors. The novel also shows the kind
of passion, love and drama of life at that time in Morocco. For me, this
book is amazing for many reasons. First, the events are very amusing and
entertaining. Besides, the novel reflects the traditions, customs and
general way of life in Morocco in 1954.
