Radwa Ashour Knihy
Radwa Ashour byla egyptská spisovatelka a akademička, jejíž díla se zabývala složitými otázkami identity a historie. Její próza je známá svou poetickou kvalitou a hlubokým vhledem do lidské psychiky. Ashour často zkoumala témata migrace, exilu a hledání kořenů, přičemž využívala bohatý jazyk a evokativní obrazy. Její literární přínos spočívá v obohacení arabské literatury o hluboce osobní a zároveň společensky relevantní perspektivy, které rezonují s čtenáři po celém světě.
Set in 1492, the narrative unfolds in Granada as the last Muslim stronghold in Spain falls to Christian rule, leading to the destruction of Islamic culture. Abu Jaafar, a bookseller, attempts to preserve his library while preparing for his granddaughter Saleema's marriage. The story chronicles the struggles of his family and community against forced conversions and expulsions, highlighting their efforts to maintain their identity amidst oppression. Radwa Ashour's trilogy poignantly captures the resilience and hope of those who remained in Andalusia during this tumultuous period.
