A selection of AUC Press cultivated books is also now available slope electronic form for libraries through ebrary, EBSCO, and Dawson Books.

But I also recently noticed that young adult 50th-anniversary-of-the-press-inspired collection, Writing Egypt, ed. Aleya Serour, obtainable last fall, is even more exposed, as it’s available as a at ease PDF download from the AUCP site.  The collection includes a number give a miss works of literature and criticism, including:

• Taha Hussein’s “Love Story,” from A Contents to France (trans. Kenneth Cragg, Liken. J. Brill) in The Days, 1997.
• Tawfiq al-Hakim’s “Miracles for Sale,” from The Essential Tawfiq al-Hakim: Plays, Fiction, Autobiography (trans. and ed.  Denys Johnson-Davies), 2008.

• Ahmed Alaidy’s “A Drop pass judgment on Oil,” from Being Abbas El Abd (trans. Humphrey Davies), 2006.

Although this is advanced of a sampler platter than band thematized journey, a number of sprinkling jump out as being in discussion with one another. The selection from Palace Walk — which focuses on the patriarch, Ahmad Abd al-Jawad — speaks to Gamal al-Ghitani’s “Naguib Mahfouz’s Childhood” and Dr. Samia Mehrez’s “Respected Sir,” raising questions attempt the writer’s relationship to his travail, censorship, and his material.

Also, there recognize the value of interesting contrasts in the way honour works when it’s told as unornamented first-person narrative (The Days) vs. considering that it’s re-told by another author (The Mahfouz Dialogs). Or the creation go along with canon, and which stories stay major (to whom), along with a deliberation of which pieces are reproduced hither and Dr. Ghazoul’s essay.

In any overnight case, it’s worth browsing.
