Özet:

There are a limited number of works in Turkish literature related to the history of Algeria. Therefore, A Standing Life: Political Memories, which was published by the Detail Publications in 2021 with the translation of Ayşen Gür, is an important step in the way to fix a significant lack of work titled 1945-1962. Mohammed Harbi, who took important duties, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in the established Temporary Government, who participated in the Algeria's War of Independence, in this work both translates his memories and critically examines the political history of Algeria. In this article, both the work of Harbi was briefly discussed and the book’s subtitles pointed out to the solidarity between the Turkish leftists and the Algeria rebels.
