Inhaltsangabe
Mayada was born into a powerful Iraqi family. One grandfather fought alongside Lawrence of Arabia. The other is acclaimed as the first true Arab nationalist. Her uncle was Prime Minister for nearly 40 years, her mother an important politician. When Saddam Hussein and his Ba'ath party seized power, and instituted his reign of terror, Mayada found herself alone in Baghdad, a divorced parent of two children, earning a meagre living printing brochures. Until one morning in August 1999 she was summarily arrested and dragged to the notorious Baladiyat Prison, falsely accused of printing anti-government propaganda. There she was thrown into a cell with 17 "shadow women". Like latter-day Sherezades, these women passed their days, while waiting for the next interrogation and torture session, telling each other their stories. They were eager to hear Mayada's stories of her privileged former life, of the history of her proud family, of kings and queens, of meetings with Saddam himself. Not only the story of a woman intimately connected to Iraq's cultured, ancient history, this book also offers a powerful witness to the terror and horror wrought by Saddam on the lives and souls of its ordinary citizens.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Zustand: Como nuevo. : Mayada Al-Askari nació en una poderosa familia iraquí. Uno de sus abuelos luchó junto a Lawrence de Arabia, el otro es aclamado como el primer nacionalista árabe. Su tío fue primer ministro durante casi cuarenta años, su madre una importante política. Cuando Saddam Hussein y su partido Ba'ath tomaron el poder e instituyeron su reino de terror, Mayada se encontró sola en Bagdad, divorciada y con dos hijos, ganándose la vida a duras penas imprimiendo folletos. Hasta que una mañana de agosto de 1999 fue detenida y arrastrada a la tristemente célebre prisión de Baladiyat, falsamente acusada de imprimir propaganda antigubernamental. Allí fue arrojada a una celda apestosa que ya albergaba a otras diecisiete 'mujeres sombra'. Como Schehrazades de los últimos tiempos, estas mujeres pasaban sus días, mientras esperaban la próxima sesión de interrogatorio y tortura, contándose sus historias. Estaban ansiosas por escuchar las historias de Mayada sobre su privilegiada vida anterior, de la historia de su orgullosa familia, de reyes y reinas, de reuniones con el propio Saddam. No sólo la historia de una mujer íntimamente conectada con la culta e historia antigua de Irak, este libro es un poderoso testimonio del terror y el horror causado por Saddam.
