“Season of Migration to the North, by Tayeb Salih, is an eloquent and restrained portrait of one man's exile. It is a rare narrative in that it charts a life divided between England and Sudan. Without a doubt it is one of the finest Arabic novels of the 20th century, and Denys Johnson-Davies' translationdoes the original justice.” MenJusticeNovelDoubtCenturySeasonsEnglandOriginalsNarrativeOne ManDividedFinestPortraits20th CenturyExileJohnsonEloquentMigrationSudan Author:Hisham Matar
“Dreams have consequences. There is no turning back. A revolution is not a painless march to the gates of freedom and justice. It is a struggle between rage and hope, between the temptation to destroy and the desire to build. Its temperament is desperate. It is a tormented response to the past, to all that has happened, the recalled and unrecalled injustices - for the memory of a revolution reaches much further back than the memory of its protagonists.” DreamPastDesireMemoriesJusticeStruggleHappenedRevolutionConsequenceResponseInjusticeRageTemptationDesperateMarchGatesTemperamentProtagonistsPainlessNo Turning Back Author:Hisham Matar
