Books review of author Mustafa Nasr pdf
Mostafa Nasr is a novelist who possesses the magic of storytelling. He captures the vocabulary of the ordinary and the ordinary, but he paraphrases and presents it through amazing stories. In his first novel, “Climbing Over a Smooth Wall,” he expressed the bitterness of the 1967 defeat. He remained hostage to the shadows for decades, so he worked diligently with a lover who did not expect anything from his beloved. Ignoring did not weaken his resolve, and he continued holding his pen to innovate for nearly half a century until fame came to him with his last novel, “The Jews of Alexandria.” I am not a historian, and the character of the Jew had previously appeared to him in the novel “Alexandria 67.” The novelist, Mustafa Nasr, denies that the recurrence of that character to him and the allocation of a novel that lengthened to occupy 552 pages about it resulted from some influence on the wave or frenzy of writing about the Jews that has prevailed in the last decade, He says: "The Jews, as usual, controlled a large part of the Egyptian economy and influenced art. A director like Togo Mizrahi contributed to building cinematic art in Egypt. This changed the Jewish movie and music stars, such as Daoud Hosni, Zaki Murad, his daughter Laila and his son Mounir, and the Jews had a role in Egyptian sports, there were three sports clubs in Alexandria alone: the Maccabi, the Israeli, and Kattawi.The role of global Zionism in the establishment of the State of Israel affected Egypt, as some Jews supported it, and others resisted it.In the elections of Jewish sports clubs, their division reached the point of intertwining. I have dealt with the characters as Alexandrian and not just because they are Jewish, and I have previously written about the artists of Alexandria, and I am trying - now - to deal with the Alexandrian sports heroes and plastic artists, and I have written about the butchers of Alexandria, and it is not reasonable that I should not write about a group It had a great impact on our city, and the streets of our city still bear Jewish names.” Mustafa Nasr states that he spent the years of his sabbatical grant from 2002 to 2005 writing the novel, which he planned to be a trilogy, issued in three parts. Who encouraged the Jews to come to Egypt and trade in it. And the second part in the period of World War II and the fear of the Jews of Alexandria from Rommel's forces, which reached the outskirts of El Alamein, until King Farouk issued a royal order to transfer them outside Alexandria. The third part deals with the aftermath of the Camp David Accords. The novelist adds: "In all my writings, I loudly declare that I am not a historian - even when I write about artistic personalities: cinematic or lyrical, I say, O world, I am not a historian. On historical constants that I cannot change - such as the economic role of the Jews in Egypt since the era of Governor Said - and the disease of Governor Said, which led to the emission of unpleasant odors from his body that is difficult to bear - and the dates of the Second World War and the Peace Agreement - but all the small details and characters are from a fictional inspiration and they make an artistic legend There is no historical fact.
