This is a summary presentation of "Tin-n-Ouahr", a novel, proposed in six volumes. "Kingdom without effigy" is the Volume Two. All books can be examined separately, without altering the pleasure of reading. Its prologue defines the plot and explains the theme. These preliminaries augur a fiction in general literature, sometimes with an autobiographical connotation, at others times with romance ingredients, immersions in political, sociological and psychological world of a country, certainly not prosaic, also not secular, strongly defending the universal ethic, built relentlessly by positive humanity to elevate the dignity of men towards the tallest pedestals.
AUTHOR'S BIOGRAPHY DEDICATED BY ONE OF HIS FRIENDS, NOW DISAPPEARED :"Muhammad Jamal El Kadiri was born in 1953. Political scientist by academic background, he came early to writing, late to publication, by taste and quality requirement. His novels are talented, but hard and incisive. He depicts with striking reality the vicissitudes of the condition of intellectuals in his country. His literary time leaves the reader a strange feeling of duration, witch captivates and holds in suspense until the last sentence."

«Come with me to the car, please, says the commander... Well... Before leaving, I wanted to warn you... You, more than your colleagues, because you do not look like them... You are a very sincere, dedicated and loyal boy... The rudiments of the military profession you learned under the patronage of Yakhlef at the Academy, and during our brief collaboration, are the prerogative of a professional and apolitical conception of the army... You will not find this way of acting and executing the orders in all the corps, and among all the graduates... The reality of the power in this country is other... What you risk seeing now roughly corresponds to a view... of maquis of commandment... The maquis is the camouflage, the taste of mystery, the keeping, the trap, the trick, the fear of the encirclement... You are intelligent. Pay attention now to what you say and your actions in everyday life... But manage your structure as you know... If you slip, they will not miss you...
I came to the army to fulfill a duty, my commander... In the name of true republican values, and citizenship...
You dream, lieutenant, says the commandant, with his characteristic eye-fold... Where do you see the republic?
At least, in my head, and my actions... I do not forget that we suffer diktats illegitimate regime, resulting from a putsch...
Do not say that in front of anyone, Baali... They will neutralize you without mercy ...
No matter, my commander ... I am not afraid ... I inherited from my ancestors a high sense of dignity and honor ... Our people, for the most part, think like me... at the difference that they do not say it with one voice and does not rise up frankly, like a single man... In the image of our martyrs, who died for that this people live free ... Yes, the current power is only a kingdom... without effigy... But it will eventually disappear one day or another, because from his birth he sowed the seeds of his own destruction...
The militaries like me, who made the war for real, have served only the republic... I willingly liked to serve under the Romanov, the Habsburg or the Hohenzollern... These know what a banner is... How to preserve it at the height of a pedestal... I was born, alas, a generation after...
Thank you, my commander for telling me all that... You have said aloud what I always thought all low...
I consider you as a son, Baali... A father knows what his boy thinks...
What impression does it make for you to leave us so suddenly, my commander?
After ten years? Never better disposed to pack, as I always did during my career, lieutenant ... I held a very
