Cuatro hombres recalan en la pension Miramar desterrados por una realidad social que los ha convertido en exiliados en su propio pais. La rivalidad por conseguir los favores de Zohra Salama, una joven entre candida y sugerente, crea una atmosfera de tension enfermiza, donde la fustracion y el sentimiento de fracaso afloran hasta desnudar el interior herido de cada uno.

Warner, Keith Q.

Mhudi, the first full-length novel in English by a black South African, was written in the late 1910s. A romantic epic set in the first half of the nineteenth century, the main action is unleashed by King Mzilikazi’s extermination campaign against the Barolong in 1832 at Kunana (nowadays Setlagole), and covers the resultant alliance of defeated peoples with Boer frontiersmen in a resistance movement leading to Battlehill (Vegkop, 1836) and the showdown at the Battle of Mosega (17 January 1839). Plaatje’s eponymous heroine is an enduring symbol of the belief in a new day.

The poems in this powerful collection range from the rhetorical lyricism of Tawfiq Zayyad to the complex, cosmic imagery of Walid al-Halis, from the romantic idiom of Salma al-Jayyusi to the edgy, convoluted style of Tawfiq Sayigh, all evoking Palestine, the never-forgotten homeland.The rich variety of the work is explored in Abdelwahab Elmessiri's extensive introduction and further reflected in the Arabic-language versions that accompany each selection. Opening with Mahmud Darwish's "The Roses and the Dictionary" and Samih al-Qasim's "To Najib Mahfuz," the collection is organized around six themes: aesthetics of the revolution, elegies, love of Palestine, steadfastness, resistance, and victory.Other poets represented include Laila 'Alush, 'Abd al-Latif 'Aql, Fawzi el-Asmar, Mu'in Basisu, Ahmad Dahbur, Yusuf Hamdan, Ahmad Husayn, Rashid Husayn, Jabra Ibrahim Jabra, Salim Jubran, Nazih Khayr, Kamal Nasir, 'Abd al-Karim al-Sab awi, Mayy Sayigh, and Fadwah Tuqan. The book also includes biographical notes and a selected bibliography.

Excerpt from An Egyptian Childhood: The Autobiography of Taha HusseinWe may well ask with his small daughter in An Egyptian Clyi/dbood how he has attained this high position. We read of him in 1902 as a poor blind student at al-azhar just up from the country, yet twenty-five years later he is one of the most honoured and respected men in Egypt with a reputation that extends far beyond the bounds of his native land.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
