Souk Ahras is since yesterday and for three days, the radiation center of an important appointment reviving the past glory of an authentic son of Algeria, Apuleius.
Besides Algerian academics, international experts from several countries bring their analyzes on the global reach of his works.
The first and not least was the action of Apuleius to have had the privilege of writing the first novel in the history of mankind.
Being a great scholar, mastering including Greek and Latin, languages which were great vehicles of communication and media at the time, Apuleius imagined to convey his revolutionary ideas, not directly as likely to offend the consciences, but under as a fictional character, with the opportunity to make without being sanctioned, the opinions and the most daring ideas.
For the purposes of his novel The Metamorphoses, this author chose a genius turned into donkey character by which he could say and do all admit unmolested.
Thus, under innocuous appearances, the author spoke of human values and objective truths universally recognized in time and in space. Apuleius has introduced for the first time an intellectual support that was to be the foundation and source of literature that has evolved over time and today took a boom.
This right is now recognized and Apuleius is considered the father of the novel. This recognition of the universal plan reflects the rich past of the high civilization that has lived our country in the first centuries AD and the high value of native men of this land who developed and affirmed.
We must welcome the work of the High Commission for Amazigh who revives this glorious past, demonstrating our determination to recover and record in our history our high civilizational facts which we can be proud of. Apuleius of Madaure, legendary figure, is the second leading figure who profoundly marked the history of our country that the High Commission for Amazigh focused in the study after that of Massinissa last year.
