Ahdaf Soueif Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

Selected stories from her previous books Sandpiper and Aisha collected together for the first time

In 'Baghdad Burning', a young Iraqi woman, using the pseudonym Riverbend, gives a human face to war and occupation. In this hard-hitting journal, she describes the day-to-day realities of life in post-war Iraq, which for her family and neighbours means regular power-cuts, bombings, kidnappings and raids.

Un vecchio baule da viaggio, il frammento di un arazzo egiziano, un pacchetto di lettere, un fascio di giornali inglesi e arabi di inizio secolo. La giovane americana Isabel e l'egiziana Amal, riannodando il magico legame tra passato e presente, ricostruiranno la storia della misteriosa Lady Anna e di Sharif Pasha.

From the Man Booker Nominee author of The Map of Love. Sandpiper is a collection of stories which provide insight into Egyptian and Western life and the links between them, looking at relationships within and across continents. People from many places - England, Alexandria, Istanbul - pass through defining crises in their relations with others. Most of them are women, and most find themselves in countries other than their own, where language, culture and prescribed emotions such as 'love' create confusion. New understandings are registered in intensely recalled moments and sensations.

The great English novel about Egypt, which is also the great Egyptian novel about England.

By the author of In The Eye Of The Sun, this superb collection of stories is united by the central character, an Egyptian girl growing up in both Egypt and Britain. The stories are populated by the characters she meets, each moving in their own world as Aisha grows up and travels in Cairo and London.
