Mustapha Laghtiri's 'The Lost Atlantic' is a captivating novel that plunges readers into a world where memory and reality intertwine. The narrative skillfully explores profound themes of displacement, the search for belonging, and the intricate nature of identity in a rapidly changing global landscape. Laghtiri masterfully crafts a rich tapestry of characters, each grappling with their own personal 'lost Atlantic'—a metaphor for forgotten pasts, unfulfilled dreams, or elusive homelands. This thought-provoking work invites contemplation on the human condition, the burdens of history, and the perennial quest for meaning in an increasingly complex world. It is a powerful exploration of the Atlantic as both a physical barrier and a symbolic expanse of the mind.
