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.

Everything has a source and an end; then what is the source of the differences and what was its fate? The story is about the father, Mr. Ahmed, with a fierce anger without limits, who led his family by his own will, regardless of the feelings of his wife or sons. But in his heart he kept a secret, and that secret is what made Mr. Ahmed becomes excessively harsh, prompting him to prevent the return of what happened to him in the past. But the shadow of his past history did not stop haunting him. This novel is written in a beautiful and eloquent language, with the skill of a careful artist who understands the life of Zanzibari and coastal communities in general.
‘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.
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.
This gripping novel takes you on a historical journey along the Forty Days Road, sharing in the characters' quest for freedom, dignity, and love. Are you ready to join them?
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.
Facilities planning for tourism, hospitality and events (THE) is an important subject from both theoretical and applied perspectives, as land, property and resources represent major components of the foundation of the industry. As future managers, it is imperative that students have a sound basic knowledge of property and the various resources, systems and services associated with it. Covering important contemporary subjects such as sustainable planning and environmental management, this book considers the planning, development and management of facilities operations from several key perspectives, drawing upon the expertise of complementary experts in the design, management and development of THE facilities.
This book presents a global overview of the background to, and the current state of, crop protection and pest management in cotton crops. Cotton is one of the most economically important crops in the world and has been grown for centuries but maintaining high yields of good quality requires sophisticated approaches to pest management. The introduction and use of pesticides over the decades significantly increased cotton yields but lead to many adverse environmental impacts. Over time, new and alternative insecticides were developed but overuse has enabled pests to develop significant resistance. The development of genetically modified cotton varieties with toxins derived from Bacillus thuringiensis enabled much improved control of lepidopteran larvae, including bollworms, but as the toxins had no effect on sucking pests, farmers had no choice but to continue using insecticides. Also, some of the new cotton varieties developed in recent times have not adapted to different climatic conditions and the quality of cotton fibre declined as a result. This book shows the need for more research to select cotton varieties with high quality fibres suitable for different cotton growing areas and to develop integrated pest management strategies to minimise the use of pesticides. It also demonstrates the need for an inter-disciplinary approach bringing together plant breeders, entomologists, plant pathologists, agronomists and agricultural engineers to achieve high yields of high quality cotton. In the future, farmers will need to adopt new technology to determine when and how pesticides are used in conjunction with cultural and biological control strategies. · Emphasises the importance of research on growing cotton in a world experiencing climate change · Demonstrates how crucial crop protection is in achieving high yields of high quality cotton · Shows how new technology will bring major changes in how cotton is grown in the future
Explores some of the key venues of black British literary and cultural production across the postwar period: bedsits and basements; streets and cafes; train stations and tourist landscapes; the suburbs and the city; the north and south. Pursues a 'devolving' landscape in order to consider what an analysis of 'dwelling' might contribute to the travelling theories of diaspora discourse and asks what happens when we 'situate' literatures of movement and migration. Offers fresh readings of work by some of the key literary figures of the postwar years, for example, Salman Rushdie, Hanif Kureishi, Meera Syal, Linton Kwesi Johnson. Contextualises writings alongside photography, painting, and film to consider their relationship to broader shifts in the politics of black representation over the past fifty years. Offers sustained anaysis of many of the texts reproduced in Procter's anthology Writing black Britain 1948-98 ( MUP, 2000) making an ideal companion to the earlier book. ;
