City of Love and Ashes

In this finely crafted novel, Yusuf Idris, best known as the master of the Arabic short story, brings to life not only some of the most human characters in modern Arabic fiction but the soul of Cairo itself and the soul of a national consciousness focused on liberation.

In acest roman fin lucrat, Yusuf Idris, cunoscut cel mai bine ca maestru al nuvelei arabe, aduce la viata nu numai unele dintre cele mai umane personaje din fictiunea araba moderna, ci si sufletul Cairoului insusi si sufletul unei constiinte nationale concentrate pe eliberare.
