September 2008Abu Musas Nachbarinnen
Roman
by Ahmed Toufiq, Imke Ahlf-Wien
Hoch über dem Meer in Salé an Marokkos Atlantikküste (neben Rabat) ist noch heute das Grabmal des Sufi-Heiligen Abu Musa zu besichtigen. Abu Musa, ein Asket, und die schöne blonde Schama, die am Hof des Sultans in Fes gelebt hat und mit einem andalusischen Kunsthandwerker verheiratet ist, wohnen in einem heruntergekommenen Handelshaus in der bedeutenden Hafenstadt Salé. Eine Reihe alleinstehender Frauen von zweifelhaftem Ruf hat dort ebenfalls Unterkunft gefunden. Wann? Im 14. Jahrhundert. Abu Musas Nachbarinnen ist ein historischer Roman, erzählt in arabischer Tradition, lebendig, farbig und kenntnisreich, mit überraschenden Wendungen unterwegs und einem Regenwunder zum Schluß, das Abu Musa, unterstützt von Schama und den Frauen, herbeiführt – wofür er bezahlen muß. Ahmed Toufiqs Roman fragt, mitten im Getümmel: Wie sollen wir leben und: was können wir tun? Seine Antwort, muslimisch und menschlich, klingt nach.

In the Footsteps of Enayat Al-Zayyat
by Iman Mersal
‘In the Footsteps of Enayat Al-Zayyat’ is a book that traces the life of an unknown Egyptian writer who died in 1963, four years before the release of her only novel. The book does not follow a traditional style to present the biography of Al-Zayyat, or to restore consideration for a writer who was denied her rights. Mersal refuses to present a single story as if it is the truth and refuses to speak on behalf of the heroine or deal with her as a victim, but rather takes us on a journey to search for the individuality that is often marginalised in Arab societies. The book searches for a young woman whose family burned all her personal documents, including the draft of her second novel, and was completely absent in the collective archives. The narration derives its uniqueness from its ability to combine different literary genres such as fictional narration, academic research, investigation, readings, interviews, fiction, and fragments of the autobiography of the author of the novel. The book deals with the differences between the individuality of Enayat, who was born into an aristocratic family, graduated from a German school and wrote her narration during the domination of the speeches of the Nasserism period, and that of Mersal, a middle-class woman who formed her consciousness in the 1990s and achieved some of what Enayat dreamed of achieving but remained haunted by her tragedy. The book deals with important political, social and cultural issues, as we read the history of psychiatry in modern Egypt through the pills that Enayat swallowed to end her life on 3 January 1963, while her divorce summarises the continuing suffering of women with the Personal Status Law. We also see how the disappearance of a small square from her neighbourhood reveals the relationship between modernity and bureaucracy, and how the geography of Cairo changes, obliterated as the result of changes in political regimes. In the library of the German Archaeological Institute, where Enayat worked, we find an unwritten history of World War II and, in her unpublished second novel, we see unknown stories of German scientists fleeing Nazism to Cairo. We also see how Enayat’s neglected tomb reveals the life story of her great-grandfather, Ahmed Rashid Pasha, and the disasters buried in the genealogy tree.

March 2020Muhammad Ali
Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre
by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Brosmind, Svenja Becker
Als Muhammad klein war, wurde ihm sein Fahrrad gestohlen. Er wollte mit dem Dieb kämpfen, aber ein Polizist sagte ihm, er solle zuerst boxen lernen. Er trainierte unermüdlich und wurde ein eleganter und trickreicher Boxer. Sein großer Traum ging schließlich in Erfüllung: Er wurde Schwergewichtsweltmeister. Aber er konnte nicht nur gut mit seinen Fäusten umgehen, sondern zeigte auch außerhalb des Boxrings Zivilcourage. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Malerin, Tänzer oder Bürgerrechtsaktivistin, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen. Für welches Alter sind diese Bücher gedacht? Für Babys das perfekte Geschenk zur Begrüßung in eine Welt voller Träume! Und Eltern werden in schlaflosen Nächten von diesen Büchern dazu ermutigt, das Vorlesen zu einem selbstverständlichen Teil des Lebens zu machen. Kleinkinder werden von den Illustrationen verzaubert sein – sie werden zahlreiche Dinge entdecken. Auch sind die Bücher großartige „Vokabeltrainer“! 3- bis 5-Jährige werden alles, Illustrationen und Texte, geradezu in sich aufsaugen! 6-, 8- und 10-Jährige haben ein ausgeprägteres Verständnis für die Illustrationen und die Bedeutung der Geschichte – es geht nicht nur darum, sich selbst zu akzeptieren und die eigenen Zukunftsträume zu verwirklichen, sondern auch darum, andere so zu akzeptieren, wie sie sind. Später: Die Bücher sind gute Geschenke zu jedem Anlass, denn die Träume der Kindheit können das ganze Leben lang Wirklichkeit werden.

The Mud and Stars
by Ahmed Lotfy
Below the earth and above the sky. The two arcs between which a human lives his life and rotates through them. Who is more truthful than history if we look at human life as a whole? How does love attract him, how does authority blind him, how does inattention obliterate him, so he thinks of himself as the highest, and the law of time falls into the mud with him. Who is truer than history? With these tales, I only wrote about human.

Children's & YAJune 2021Batalha das Velas
A Rota dos Espiões
by Manu & Deepak
This book is the first volume in a series of comic books about the spice trade and the spirit of navigation with all its vivid humor. The dominance of the Arabs in the spice trade and the envy of the Portuguese and Spaniards define the script and plot of the story, covering the maritime trade from 1440 to 1500. The story is inspired by the adventures and navigation techniques of Ahmed bin Majid, the great Arab navigator. Medieval history, mythology and archetypes are adapted to the modern world to facilitate the narration of the story and generate interest. He uses anachronisms and discourses of contemporary media to create comedy. In this volume, Prince Henry hires Chung Chung, the Chinese traveler to steal Majid's map, but Majid's cunning prevails. Majid also gives a lesson to the 41 pirates and their captain, Black Fin.

by Mohamed Al-Jezawi
The novel poses the problem of identity, as it is the essence of the psychological and intellectual conflict of the main character (Hassoun), who is disputed by two contradictory identities; He was born in the land of Yemen from a Muslim father and a Jewish mother and carried the inheritance of the two religions and their old and new conflict.Hassoun's internal journey continues with his own human crises and transformations that he witnesses along with his external journey through various societies that he went through in transitional stages of their history. Over two thousand seven hundred years, Hassoun seeks to discover himself and reach his identity by retiring at times, and by experimenting at other times, thus he goes through multiple experiences to get closer to himself.
