Committed to Disillusion: Activist Writers in Egypt from the 1950s to the 1980s
Autor David DiMeoen Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 sep 2016
David DiMeo focuses on the work of three leading writers whose socially committed fiction was adapted to the disenchantment and discontent of the late twentieth century: Naguib Mahfouz, Yusuf Idris, and Sonallah Ibrahim. Despite their disappointments with the direction of Egyptian society in the decades following the 1952 revolution, they kept the spirit of committed literature alive through a deeply introspective examination of the relationship between the writer, the public, and political power. Reaching back to the roots of this literary movement, DiMeo examines the development of committed literature from its European antecedents to its peak of influence in the 1950s, and contrasts the committed works with those of disillusionment that followed.
Committed to Disillusion is vital reading for scholars and students of Arabic literature and the modern history and politics of the Middle East.
