SLAVERY, TERROR AND THE IMAGE OF THE OTHER IN ALGIERS OF THE MODERN AGE IN THE NOVEL THE PANTHERS OF ALGIERS BY EMILIO SALGARI

Summary/Abstract: This research aims to provide reflections on the phenomenon of slavery, on terror and on the image of the other in the city of Algiers and in the Mediterranean of the modern age through a thematic analysis of the novel “The Panthers of Algiers” by Emilio Salgari. The study also aims to examine the narrative construction of the city as a space of conflict, slavery, piracy, and religious opposition between the Christian world and North Africa. The analysis highlights the main thematic axes of the novel, including the depiction of Algiers as a permanent terror and threat, the construction, the image of otherness and the dichotomy between civilization and barbarism. By examining narrative and descriptive strategies, the study demonstrates how the novel contributes to the formation of an ideologically shaped Mediterranean imaginary.
