{"product_id":"16681-sonallah-ibrahim","title":"Sonallah Ibrahim","description":"In his notebook, Egyptian writer Sonallah Ibrahim offers insight into two of his novels, written in a rather documentary style, weaving a personal story with the political environment and citing excerpts from journals and speeches. One of the main characters, Dhat, endures suffering and misfortune in her life, caused by the political situation in her home country. The other, Warda, dedicates her life to the liberation of humanity. Ibrahim, known for his radical views and open criticism, for which he was imprisoned in Egypt during the 1960s, wonders how he can escape from the current political and social everyday life of Egypt with the help of his constructed characters. The starting point of the notebook is the contemplation of Egyptian society in the late 1970s and 1980s, with the upheavals in the area of social justice and the devaluation of education and culture. Through the self-reflective evaluation of his work, Ibrahim examines gender roles in Arab society and suggests how the future hopes of Arab countries could be fulfilled through the active actions of women.\u003cbr\u003eSonallah Ibrahim (born 1937) is a writer living in Cairo.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-2896-6)","offer_id":44503954096392,"sku":"9783775728966","price":4.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ebook - PDF (978-3-7757-4953-4)","offer_id":44573666803976,"sku":"9783775749534","price":1.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook - EPUB (978-3-7757-3076-1)","offer_id":44573666836744,"sku":"9783775730761","price":1.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775728966_62bccf67-9250-43f8-9f1f-b119afe7968f.jpg?v=1744136287","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16681-sonallah-ibrahim","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
