October 2012Als schliefe sie
by Elias Khoury, Leila Chammaa
Elias Khoury ist einer der tonangebenden Schriftsteller und Intellektuellen der arabischen Welt. Welche Geschichten, fragen seine Bücher, sind ans Licht zu holen, wenn es um die Entstehung des palästinensisch-israelischen Konflikts geht? Mit welchem Gebirge aus Leid, Schmerz und Gewalt muß es eine „Friedensordnung“ für den Nahen Osten aufnehmen? Khourys neuer Roman führt zurück in die 1940er Jahre, die Zeit vor der palästinensischen Niederlage und der Gründung des Staates Israel. Er erzählt von der Liebe zwischen dem Palästinenser Mansur und der „traumbegabten“ Libanesin Milia. Nach der Heirat ziehen die beiden nach Nazareth. Als Mansurs Bruder Amin, der gegen die jüdische Einwanderung gekämpft hat, getötet wird, muß Mansur seine Rolle übernehmen. Milia hat Angst, Angst um ihn, Angst um ihr Kind. Sie ist schwanger. Bei der Geburt am 24. Dezember 1947 stirbt sie, indem sie aus ihrem letzten Traum nicht mehr erwacht – ein Traum, der sie noch sehen läßt, wie Mansur mit dem Säugling aus dem brennenden Jaffa auf ein griechisches Schiff flieht.

Peace studies & conflict resolutionOctober 2006Resolving the Pakistan- Afghanistan Stalemate
by Barnett R. Rubin, Abubakar Siddique
The United States Institute of Peace has been working on the stabilization and reconstruction of Afghanistan since 2002. Institute initiatives focus on security, the rule of law, conflict resolution, building civil society, and education in Afghanistan and Afghanistan’s relations with its neighbors. The Institute’s Afghanistan Working Group, chaired by Dr. Barnett R. Rubin, is composed of government officials and nongovernmental organizations that discuss critical issues facing Afghanistan with top experts and policymakers and work directly to help the Afghan people build a peaceful and prosperous society. The idea for this report started with discussions by Barnett Rubin with delegates to the Afghan constitutional Loya Jirga, President Hamid Karzai, and journalist Ahmed Rashid in December 2003. In spring and summer 2004 Abubakar Siddique conducted field work on the current positions of the diverse stakeholders in this complex region. During subsequent trips the coauthors carried out additional research, most recently in July–August 2006, when Rubin visited Afghanistan and Siddique visited Pakistan. Grants from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Open Society Institute, the Royal Government of Norway, and the Government of the United Kingdom supported the research. The authors gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Afrasiab Khattak and Ahmed Rashid in Pakistan and Omar Zakhilwal, Rasul Amin, Hamed Wardak, and Humayun Hamidzada in Afghanistan. They also thank many anonymous informants and commentators from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the United States. Ahmed Rashid, Marvin Weinbaum, and Sebastien Trives reviewed earlier drafts.

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)April 2017Der gute Mensch von Assuan
Roman
by Peter S. Kaspar
Berlin-Kreuzberg, Anfang 2015: Durch Zufall lernt der ägyptische Geschäftsmann und Milliardär Mansur Ghali den aus dem Senegal geflohenen Souliman Traoré kennen. Bald erfährt er, wie kurzsichtig man in Deutschland mit Flüchtlingen umgeht: Statt das Potential teilweise gut ausgebildeter Fachkräfte zu nutzen, werden die Neuankömmlinge mit einem Arbeitsverbot belegt und müssen in Flüchtlingsunterkünften ausharren. Mansur, der sein Geld mit dem Bau ganzer Städte verdient, beschließt, das Problem auf seine Art anzugehen: In einem heruntergekommenen Dorf in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern beginnt er, Flüchtlinge anzusiedeln und für den deutschen Arbeitsmarkt zu qualifizieren. Doch das ambitionierte Unterfangen ist alles andere als legal und ruft bald die Mitglieder einer ortsansässigen Kameradschaft auf den Plan, die ihre »national befreite Zone« gefährdet sehen. Auch in der Berliner Lokalpolitik bleibt das Projekt nicht unbemerkt, und bald droht seiner Komplizin, der Bezirksbürgermeisterin von Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, das Ende ihrer Karriere. Peter S. Kaspars Roman ist eine spannende Parabel auf die deutsche Flüchtlingspolitik und zugleich ein flammendes Plädoyer für mehr Menschlichkeit.

FictionOctober 2020Stories of the Walled City
by Ali Ayçil Translated by Dr Mohsin Ali & Edited by Sanjiv Sarin
Stories of the Walled City uncover the subtleties of life through love, faith and human relationships. They take the reader to a distant land – a faraway world where every character breathes the life of an ordinary person. The human flaws in them are surprisingly familiar in any setting. The charm of the stories does not lie only in the pretended moral acts of the characters but also in the delusional life of perfection. They give a glimpse of the desired balance between both the worlds that pierce through the questions of spirituality in selfish or selfless acts.

Civil War Child (A Memoir)
by Nestor Udoh
In the dry season of 1966, a group of Nigerian soldiers, led by Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, an army major, staged a coup d’état that overthrew the elected government of Nigeria. They killed the Prime Minister, Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and some other high-ranking government officials. One thing led to another, and led by Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, an army officer, the Eastern Region of Nigeria declared itself an independent Republic of Biafra. In the rainy season of 1967, a civil war broke out between Nigeria and Biafra. An estimated one million people died in the war, mostly from hunger, starvation and sundry privations. The war severely affected Ikpe Annang, where the author grew up. From a serene, rich and natural African clan, complete with its rich culture and tradition, which the author has taken time to describe, it was reduced to an unrecognizable physical and cultural rubble at the end of the war. This is the story of how the author survived the Nigerian-Biafra war as a child on the war front that his once serene village had become. He had very close calls, lost his playmates to death and was subjected to serious psychological trauma as a result. The story is captured in blood-chilling and captivating details by the author of this book. Reading like a Nollywood movie, it is at once interesting and heart-rending. It is a true account of the Nigerian civil war, told from the eyes of a child in such an innocent and real manner that it can make you laugh at times and cry at other times. It makes an interesting read and could be useful as research or reference material for both students and others interested in African anthropology and local culture. It is written in excellent, flowing prose, which displays creative writing at its best. It is also a good study material for literary studies and stylistics students.

The Wisdom of Epiah Khan
by Chris Parker
he perfect gift for everyone, this is a unique collection of inspirational quotes and spiritual guidance for each and every day! Epiah Khan is an apocryphal Middle Eastern mystic, martial artist, writer and poet believed to have been born in Baghdad in 1860. Much of Epiah's early life is a mystery, but it is known that he travelled to London in 1906 where he taught mysticism and his own brand of holistic martial arts for seven years. He moved to Paris in 1913 and from there to Verdun, where he died during the longest battle of the First World War. Chris Parker began his study of meditation and martial arts in the 1970s. He has been the custodian of Epiah Khan's writing for over 25 years. In this introductory volume he offers us: * A brief history of Epiah Khan. , * An essay about his writing style and the key themes he addresses. * An extract from an interview Epiah gave to Rhythm magazine in 1913. * 250 original sayings. Epiah Khan lived in a time of great change and upheaval and some of the quotes contained here reflect this. Even so this collection shares timeless truths, lessons, insights and reminders that are as relevant today as they have always been; that will be as relevant tomorrow as they are today. Supported with beautiful, full colour images by photohrapher Kerry-Jane Lowery, this is wisdom of the ages and, no doubt, at different times different sayings will resonate more than others. Because, as Epiah Khan writes, `You find what you search for'.

FictionJuly 2020Nazarí
by Mario Villén Lucena
UN REINO DE LEYENDA - EL NACIMIENTO DE UNA DINASTÍA MÍTICA Alarcos, 1195. El ejército musulmán ha derrotado a las tropas dirigidas por el rey castellano Alfonso XI. Asquilula, naqîb andalusí, se siente doblemente feliz: regresa victorioso a casa y al mismo tiempo es informado del nacimiento de su primer nieto: Muhammad bin al-Ahmar. Son tiempos duros para la Península Ibérica, dividida política y culturalmente. En el norte, los territorios cristianos luchan entre sí; en el sur tampoco reina la paz entre los reinos musulmanes de taifas. A lo largo de los años habrá batallas, traiciones y compromisos, treguas y pactos junto a revueltas de ambos bandos. La vida y la muerte penden de un hilo. Pero habrá entonces cuando Muhammad bin al-Ahmar se convierta en el zegrí más destacado en la frontera con Castilla. Aclamado como sayj por el pueblo, lideró su lucha por sobrevivir a los constantes ataques cristianos, luego lo nombró emir y finalmente reunió los restos de al-Andalus que habían dejado los almohades en la famosa batalla denominada Navas de Tolosa.Fernando III el Santo fue su mayor enemigo. Pero bajo el reinado de Ibn Ammar surgió no sólo un reino, sino una nueva dinastía para gloria de al-Andalus y de la Historia: los nazaríes. Y nunca estuvo solo... Esta es una novela sobre batallas, conflictos políticos y aventuras, pero también sobre el amor, la amistad y la esperanza. Se trata de una novela basada en uno de los periodos más convulsos de la Historia, la Reconquista, pero escrita como nunca, desde el punto de vista andaluz. En definitiva, una novela sobre un personaje legendario.
