Red Wine / Amina Zaydan 

Public ISBD Titre : Red Wine Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Amina Zaydan, Auteur ; Sally Gomaa, Traducteur Editeur : The american University in Cairo Press Année de publication : 2010 Importance : 195 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-977-416-389-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Roman Index. décimale : M-4.1 Romans, nouvelles et récits Résumé : Suzie Mohamad Galal, born in the Egyptian city of Suez during the War of Attrition in the late 1960s, is a woman of inner conflicts, at once a fighter and a lover, who traverses the boundaries of ethnicity and religion. Her whole life is intricately tied to the wars and political events taking place in Egypt. But as she grapples with where to begin her story of personal and national crises, questions of narration arise: which metaphor best serves the layers of meaning she wants to communicate, and whose voice is telling the story anyway? Red Wine is both timely in its attention to the issues of state brutality, religious extremism, and gender, and timeless in the way it deals with the themes of coming of age, guilt, and sadness.

The woman from Tantoura / Radwa Ashour 

Public ISBD Titre : The woman from Tantoura Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Radwa Ashour, Auteur ; Heikkinen Kay, Traducteur Editeur : The american University in Cairo Press Année de publication : 2014 Importance : 368 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-977-416-615-0 Prix : 10 euros Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Arabe (ara) Catégories : Roman Index. décimale : M-4.1 Romans, nouvelles et récits Résumé : From a young girl’s point of view, through to the mature observations of an adult woman, the lifetime of Palestine, with all its peaks and valleys of human experience Palestine. For most of us, the word brings to mind a series of confused images and disjointed associations—massacres, refugee camps, UN resolutions, settlements, terrorist attacks, war, occupation, checkered kuffiyehs and suicide bombers, a seemingly endless cycle of death and destruction. This novel does not shy away from such painful images, but it is first and foremost a powerful human story, following the life of a young girl from her days in the village of al-Tantoura in Palestine up to the dawn of the new century. We participate in events as they unfold, seeing them through the uneducated but sharply intelligent mind of Ruqayya, as she tries to make sense of all that has happened to her and her family. With her, we live her love of her land and of her people; we feel the repeated pain of loss, of diaspora, and of cross-generational misunderstanding; and above all, we come to know her indomitable human spirit. As we read we discover that we have become part of Ruqayya’s family, and her voice will remain with us long after we have closed the book.
