Críticas
Al Aswany is a world writer, making Egyptian concerns into human ones and beautifully illuminating our always extraordinary and sometimes sad and baffling world. * * The Times * * Alaa Al Aswany, the author of The Yacoubian Building, is the novelist who best captured the bubbling frustrations of Hosni Mubarak's Egypt. * * Financial Times * * Al Aswany masterfully deciphers the forces behind social polarization over class, gender, race, religion, and politics ... refusing simple answers and tidy conclusions. * * Booklist * * The pieces that follow are written with Orwellian pungency and clarity, emotional detachment and anger eloquently sublimated. . . What emerges is a portrait of what it's like to live through a nightmare, then to wake up in a sweat and discover it's over. * * Sunday Herald * * On The State of Egypt is surely as close as a novelist can get to formulating a rapid response to the shifting sands of history. . . These are not abstract writing exercises; they are integral to the intellectual life of a nation in flux. * * Financial Times * * On the State of Egypt is...a good example of [Al Aswany's] forceful, single-minded view - as well as a showcase of some of the author's other qualities as a columnist: humour, bluntness and optimism. ... The arguments are not subtle or, indeed, complex, but they are often striking and persuasive. * * National * * On the State of Egypt is an essential read for anyone wanting to understand the social conditions that made the revolution inevitable. -- Edward King * * Sunday Times * * [Al Aswany's] account of the recent events in Egypt act as a primer to the whys and wherefores, and also as a gripping first-hand account from someone who took his own place in Tahrir Square. -- Michael Conaghan * * Belfast Telegraph * * The book . . . provides a valuable picture of the growing disquiet in through Egypt through the eyes of one of its public intellectuals. -- Dick O'Brien * * Sunday Business Post * * Delivered with compassion, insight and sardonic humour ... a new chapter in Egypt's story has begun, and Alaa Al Aswany will be there to write it. * * Skinny * * Aswany is the authentic voice of Egyptian liberalism. -- Gideon Rachman * * Financial Times * * Why bother to read a collection of newspaper articles, especially when they turn on fast-moving events in a country where reality's face changes all the time? First, these come from Egypt, focus and fulcrum of the Arab transformation, and touch on trends and movements that resonate around the region, and the world. Second, they spring from the conscience and imagination of a witness to upheaval who combines first-rate observation with firm principles and an unerring moral compass. Last, and best, that writer is Alaa Al Aswany, a peerless teller of personal stories that reveal a general truth, and one incapable - as admirers of The Yacoubian Building, Chicago or Friendly Fire will know - of a dull or timid paragraph. -- Boyd Tonkin * * Independent * * A reasonable and thoughtful critic. * * Sunday Business Post * *
Reseña del editor
On 25 January 2011, bestselling Egyptian novelist Alaa Al Aswany joined a million protestors in Tahrir Square calling for President Hosni Mubarak's departure. This was the moment he and other pro-democracy activists had been working towards, but could never be sure would come. Why did Egypt unexpectedly revolt? In a weekly newspaper column Al Aswany had been exposing the injustices of the Mubarak regime for years, arguing that 'democracy is the solution'. Here the most incisive, prescient and urgent of these pieces are gathered together in English for the first time. He examines the conditions that made Egypt ripe for revolution, from Mubarak's monopoly on power and his determination to install his son as his successor, to the poverty in which half the population live. He also writes passionately about Egyptian society generally, including the treatment of women, free speech and the role of the State police. On the State of Egypt is a brilliant and devastating critique of Mubarak's rule, and an inspiring portrait of a people's determination to rise up and make their voices heard.
