Emile Tubiana's writes are published on AuthorsDen
Born in North Africa, in a small
town called Beja, at a time when the country was a French protectorate, Emile
got to know the Arabs and Bedouins from his town and from the surrounding area.
He admired them for their simplicity, and for their friendly and kind-hearted
nature. They are part of his childhood and besides his French language he also
speaks their language. They are part of the great panorama of his home town.
Emile's four children grew-up and studied in the United States. He has four
grandchildren.
During World War II his house was damaged. When the Germans landed in Tunisia, they occupied the entire country except for the inland part, to which the British and the American armies succeeded in getting by air and by land, before the Germans could occupy it. The cannon shells, the Messerschmitt Bf 110 and the Ju-87 Stuka bombs from the Luftwaffe forced his and other families to move from place to place according to the sound of the explosions. No one was there to direct them or to guide them. Therefore school was suspended; the children spent a lot of time in the countryside. There, Emile started to memorize every move, the facts and the impressions he had witnessed, in order to be able to put them on paper later.
Emile left his town at the age of fourteen, first for France, where he spent some time on a farm in the Gers region overlooking the Pyrenees, 13 miles south of the city of Auch, and in Paris, where he studied mathematics, and finally he went to Germany to perform trade show construction for French companies. In Germany he created a trade show booth and display equipment factory. He produced very famous booths for major European companies such as Triumph International, RWE, Rheinish Westafalisches Elektrizitatswerk, and for French companies such as Rhodiaceta, a subsidiary of Rhone Poulenc, Thomson Brand, and others. He produced group exhibits for the Comite Permanent des Foires et Manifestations Economiques a l'Etranger, a branch of the French government, for the DTI (UK) Department of Trade and Industry, and for the US Commerce Department, as well as thousands of individual booths for European and American companies.
