View Rights PortalWenn die Oma zweimal klingelt. Seit Oma Cordula zu ihrer Weltreise aufgebrochen ist und Henrik seinen Goldbarren an vermeintlich sicherer Stelle vergraben hat, ist die Welt bei den Grubers wieder in Ordnung. Wer rechnet denn auch damit, dass Fundhund Nase den Goldbarren wieder ausbuddelt? Henriks Eltern beschlagnahmen ihn, streiten über den Verwendungszweck - die Kinder jedenfalls sollen nur kleine Geschenke bekommen - und dann steht auch noch Oma Cordula wieder vor der Tür. Natürlich nicht ohne einen kleinen gemeinen Plan im Gepäck. Die Fortsetzung der wunderbar schrägen Familiengeschichte des mehrfach ausgezeichneten Autors Salah Naoura als ungekürzte Lesung mit Mechthild Großmann.
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’ 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.

This book attempts to present the development vision of Ungku Abdul Aziz Ungku Abdul Hamid, or better known simply as Ungku Aziz (1922-2020), in a more comprehensive fashion. Ungku Aziz's vision reflects his commitment as a Muslim as well as a citizen of an emerging Muslim-majority yet a multicultural nation, and his great concern for the underprivileged. This book also attempts to situate Ungku Aziz's vision in its proper historical context, thus providing an insight into a post-colonial debate in Malaysia as well as the views and experience of a modern-educated Muslim in such context.

Irgendwann rücken sogar Stadtverwaltung und Anwohner mit ihren Schaufeln bis an die Grundstücksgrenze vor. Da muss es doch was zu holen geben!

Generations of pastry makers experience a turbulent era in Egyptian history The novel “Al-Halawani” is a historical narrative that delves into a significant period in the life of the Arab history, when the region faced the challenges of the Crusader attacks, the emergence of heroes, and the endurance of severe hardships. The novel is divided into three stories. The first story recounts the arrival of the Fatimids in Egypt from Tunisia and the life history of the leader Jawhar Al-Siqilli, who built the city of Cairo. The second story is about the Al-Mustansiriya Famine or the famines that occurred in Egypt during the time of the Fatimid Caliph Al-Mustansir and how they ravaged the Egyptian population until the leader Badr Al-Jamali came to save Egypt from the famine, re-dividing its provinces, and building the current walls of Cairo. In the third story, the novel touches on the rise to power of Salah Al-Din Al-Ayyubi, the escalating threat of the Crusaders, and the end of the Fatimid state in Egypt. The novel depicts also the role of Arab women in confronting the Crusaders and enduring famines and dangers.
