Little Brother A True Story

Published in Arabic by Masquiliani, Little Brother: A True Story (Miñan) is an extraordinary collaborative memoir born from the encounters between Ibrahima Balde, a young man from Guinea, and Basque writer and poet Amets Arzallus Antia. The book chronicles Balde’s harrowing journey across Africa to locate his younger brother, Alhassane, who disappeared while attempting to migrate to Europe. Driven purely by brotherال duty and love rather than personal ambition, Ibrahima braves deserts, extortion, labor camps, and human rights abuses. Told through Balde's honest voice and refined with Antia's sensitive literary touch, the narrative transforms statistical news stories about migration into a poignant, deeply human account of grief, resilience, and unconditional family devotion.

It is an intensely moving, raw, and authentic memoir that cuts through geopolitical migration debates to illuminate the power of brotherly love and human survival.

Ideal for readers of memoirs and human rights narratives, lovers of real-life survival stories, and anyone interested in contemporary African perspectives and global migration dynamics.
