Ein Buch über die Kindheits- und Jugendmemoiren Edward Saids, der 1935 in Jerusalem geboren wurde, einen großen Teil seiner Kindheit jedoch in Kairo und im Libanon verbrachte. Dieses Buch ist ein bewegendes Zeugnis intensiver Erinnerungsarbeit, einer Art emotionaler archäologischer Expedition - zurück in eine unwiederbringlich vergangene Welt: denn Palästina ist heute Israel, der Libanon nach zwanzig Jahren Bürgerkrieg vollkommen verändert und das koloniale, monarchistische Ägypten seit 1952 verschwunden.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Edward Said experienced both British and American imperialism as the old Arab order crumbled in the late 1940s and early 1950s. This account of his early life reveals how it influenced his books Orientalism and Culture and Imperialism. Edward Said was born in Jerusalem and brought up in Cairo, spending every summer in the Lebanese mountain village of Dhour el Shweir, until he was 'banished' to America in 1951. This work is a mixture of emotional archaeology and memory, exploring an essentially irrecoverable past. As ill health sets him thinking about endings, Edward Said returns to his beginnings in this personal memoir of his ferociously demanding 'Victorian' father and his adored, inspiring, yet ambivalent mother.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Edward W. Said, author of the ground-breaking Orientalism and Culture and Imperialism, was born in 1935 in a country which no longer exists - Palestine. His memoir of growing up between nations, cultures and two extraordinary parents is now available in paperback.'An intensely moving act of reclamation and understanding . . . To read it is to come to know his family and his younger self as closely as we know characters in literature, and to be shown, intimately and unforgettably, what it has meant in the last half-century to be a Palestinian.' SALMAN RUSHDIE'I know I shall not read a work to match this one this year, or for many years.' NADINE GORDIMER'Vividly portrayed in this work is Edward Said's path to self-realization, making him one of this fin-de-siecle's most indispensable intellectuals.' KENZABURO OE'A major work of art: the great literary statement at which his previous books had only hinted.' Independent'A fascinating book written by a gifted, brave man.' Sunday Telegraph'Fine and beautifully written . . . a Palestinian Proust.' Independent on Sunday A profoundly moving and candid memoir about being a Palestinian in exile, from one of the most important writers and thinkers of the twentieth century.

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
