Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A TOP 100 LITERARY WORK OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY (THE ARAB WRITERS UNION) ~RUNNER-UP TO THE WINNER OF THE 2025 SAIF GHOBASH BANIPAL PRIZE FOR ARABIC LITERARY TRANSLATION ~ABOOK RIOTBEST BOOK OF 2024"A magnum opus of prose fiction"Marina Warner, author ofOnce Upon a TimeAmultigenerational epicset at the collapse of Muslim rule in Medieval Spain, available now for the first time in a new, complete translationIt is 1492, and the keys to Granada, the last Muslim state in the Spanish Peninsula, have been handed over to the Christian king and queen: the final vestiges of this Arab kingdom in Europe are swept away.As the triumphant new masters of Granada burn books, Abu Jaafar, a bookseller by trade, quietly moves his rich library out of town, while preparing for the marriage of his granddaughter Saleema to his apprentice Saad. The tangled lives of Abu Jaafar's family, his descendants, and his community bear witness to the vanquishing of Muslim life: confiscations, forced conversions, and expulsions.Radwa Ashour's sweeping trilogy, set over one hundred years against the backdrop of the great historical events of sixteenth-century Europe, tells the story of those who remained in Andalusia, of the individuals who struggled to maintain faith and hope in a possible future. It narrates a community's effort to comprehend what has happened to them, of their valiant but ultimately unsuccessful efforts to resist the destruction of their identity.Named a top literary work of the twentieth century by the Arab Writers' Union,Granadais now available in English in its entirety for the first time. All three novelsGranada, MaryamaandThe Departureare brilliantly retranslated in this outstanding new paperback edition.
