Setting his novel during World War II, Chrabi opens the door on the protected and well-to- do world of an Arab woman whose role in society is restricted to that of wife and mother. At the urging of her two sons, she seeks knowledge of the larger world with all its political, economic, and social realities. Soon, she begins to develop and express her own opinions about the ongoing World War II and the domination and seclusion of women; and ultimately, she becomes an educator and activist, journeying to new intellectual and emotional realms. Published in French in 1972.

Softcover. Zustand: Good. "This careful and elegant translation makes possible the (re)discovery and dissemination to all non-French readers of this intriguing text that provides an unusual window into the fascinating complexities of Haiti's history.

Softcover. Zustand: used. "[A] gemlike collection of short stories." -Fawzia Afzal-Khan, World Literature Today"I recommend Nahira Naqvi's Attar of Roses to anyone who is interested in the portrayal of middle class family life in Pakistan. This collection of short stories, devoid of stylistic pretension, is refreshing and honest in its depiction. Naqvi's nuanced expression is a pleasure to read." -Bapsi Sidhwa, The Journal of Asian Studies"Not sure if he were imagining it or if it were indeed real, he inhaled a familiar scent, rose attar, the fragrance that had consumed him in his sleeping and waking hours. she was there! He spotted and recognized the black sandals, saw the hands, pale and lovely, the black glass bangles catching the light of the sun like flames leaping out in the darkness."-Excerpt from "Attar of Roses"These everyday tales told with verve and passion provide a glimpse into Pakistani society, from family relationships, marriage, and rites of passage, to societal roles and the impact of political change. But the backdrop of Pakistan does not limit their scope. In "Attar of Roses," a schoolmaster's obsession with a woman whose face he never sees, although rooted in the custom of veiling, also exemplifies the universal yearning for the unattainable. Similarly, the young wife in "The Notebook" symbolizes the plight of all women who experience an intellectual awakening while struggling against oppression.Naqvi weaves together imagery and tone in a way that enables the reader to feel an affinity for a culture that may, at first glance, seem distant and impenetrable. Romantic, humorous, acerbic, and vibrant, her stories both inform and entertain.

Softcover. Zustand: New. Revised. Nizar Kabbani s poetry has been described as more powerful than all the Arab regimes put together (Lebanese Daily Star). Reflecting on his death in 1998, Sulhi Al-Wadi wrote (in Tishreen), Qabbani is like water, bread, and the sun in every Arab heart and house. In his poetry the harmony of the heart, and in his blood the melody of love. Arabian Love Poems is the first English-language collection of his work.Kabbani was a poet of great simplicity direct, spontaneous, musical, using the language of everyday life. He was a ceaseless campaigner for women s rights, and his verses praise the beauty of the female body, and of love. He was an Arab nationalist, yet he criticized Arab dictators and the lack of freedom in the Arab world. He was the poet of Damascus: I am the Damascene. If you dissect my body, grapes and apples will come out of it. If you open my veins with your knife, you will hear in my blood the voices of those who have departed.Frangieh and Brown s elegant translations are accompanied by the Arabic texts of the poems, penned by Kabbani especially for this collection.
