Raja Shehadeh

Opis

This is a memoir of exile - being a 'stranger in his own land' - and also a memoir of a remarkable father and an account of a political education. It offers a way to understand the problems of the Middle East - and a wonderful personal story by a writer of edge and subtelty.

Recenzje

A sad, dignified book. Shehadeh writes with great clarity and simplicity, but no bitterness, more in sorrow than in anger about the unhappy history of his family and country. Independent
