Judío Musulmán Serie

Esta serie se adentra en el intrincado tapiz de la vida judía y musulmana en Egipto durante un período transformador a mediados del siglo XX. Sigue a individuos que navegan por sus identidades en medio de un rico panorama cultural donde las diferencias religiosas a menudo coexisten armoniosamente en la vida cotidiana y las estructuras familiares. Las narrativas capturan la calidez y la complejidad de estas comunidades antes de que las crecientes tensiones políticas amenazaran su existencia entrelazada. Es una conmovedora exploración de la pertenencia, la herencia y el profundo impacto de los acontecimientos históricos en la vida personal.

    Diary of a Jewish Muslim

    4,0(6)Añadir reseña

    Egyptian Muslims and Jews were not always at odds. Before the Arab-Israeli wars, before the mass exodus of Jews from Egypt, there was harmony. Spanning the 1930s to the 1960s, this sweeping novel accompanies Galal, a young boy with a Jewish mother and a Muslim father, through his childhood and boyhood in a vibrant popular quarter of Cairo. With his schoolboy crushes and teen rebellions, Galal is deeply Egyptian, knit tightly into the middle-class fabric of manners, morals, and traditions that cheerfully incorporates and transcends religion - a fabric about to be torn apart by a bigger world of politics that will put Galal's very identity to the test.

    "How could a good Muslim boy like you be born into a Jewish family!" For Galal, forced to leave Egypt in the 1960s Jewish exodus with his family, the Diaspora has none of the beauty of a rich tapestry of history; it's a day-to-day struggle to fit into his new life in Paris, reconcile the conflicting demands of family and friends, and come to terms with who he is. Deeply personal, this unusual and uplifting coming-of-age novel takes us into the heart of an ordinary young man in the grip of an unforgiving historical moment.

    After ten years in Paris, Gala returns to Cairo, where he finds a society in transformation. Egypt is Galal's home, but he feels he no longer belongs there. He is caught between his two identities : his Jewish mother's family are cosmopolitan business people, while his Muslim father's side are rural farmers from the Delta. In this conclusion to Kamal Ruhayyim's compelling triology, he paints an uncompromising portrait of an older generation dictating how their children live and love. -- Provided by publisher.
