Under the Naked Sky Out of Stock

$ 18

Drawing on an intimate knowledge of modern Arabic writing, Denys johnson-Davies brings together in this coddection a colorful mosaic of life as lived and portrayed by Arabs from Morocco to Iraq.
From a diverse area of the world with the common factor of a written language, these thirty stories tell of an old Moroccan peasant woman who kills snakes; an Iraqi soldeir who returns home as a stranger after years as a prisoner-of war; a repairer of lost virginities in a Tunisian village; a typically Mhfouzian start to a train journey; the steamy meeting of two women and a cat at the height of an Iraqi summer; the ill-fated attraction of a boy to a magical bird in the Tuareg deserts of Libya; and a novel way of hunting ducks in the Nile Delta.
