In 2014 the Three Cultures of the Mediterranean Foundation launched its own particular tribute to the Moroccan writer Mohamed Chukri. ‘For bread alone’ was the first book we read at ‘Luis Jimenez de Asúa’ Social Integration Centre. Since Mohamed Chukri’s most famous work has become a legend at this centre; we decided to read it again.
