The Automobile Club of Egypt : A Novel Al Aswany, Alaa; Harris, Russell Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, Penguin Random House LLC, [N.p.], 2015

From Egypt's most popular novelist--an absorbing, exuberant, and powerfully moving story of a family swept up by social unrest in post-World War II Cairo. Abd el-Aziz Gaafar, formerly a well-respected landowner now in the grip of penury, moved his family to Cairo and took on menial work at the Automobile Club--a place of refuge and luxury for its European members, a place where Egyptians may appear only as servants. Alku, the lifelong Nubian servant of Egypt's corrupt king, runs the show in all but name. The servants, a squabbling, humorous, and deeply human group, live in a perpetual state of fear: beaten for their mistakes, their wages dependent on Alku's whims. When Abd el-Aziz's pride gets the better of him and he stands up for himself, his death--as much from shame as from his injuries after Alku has him beaten--leaves his widow further impoverished, and two of his sons obliged to work in the Club. As the family is drawn into the turbulent politics--public and...

The Automobile Club of Egypt : A Novel Al Aswany, Alaa; Harris, Russell Alfred A. Knopf, Random House Inc, 2013

Once a respected landowner, Abd el-Aziz Gaafar fell into penury and moved his family to Cairo, where he was forced into menial work at the Automobile Club—a refuge of colonial luxury for its European members. There, Alku, the lifelong Nubian retainer of Egypt's corrupt and dissolute king, lords it over the staff, a squabbling but tight-knit group, who live in perpetual fear, as they are thrashed for their mistakes, their wages dependent on Alku's whims. When, one day, Abd el-Aziz stands up for himself, he is beaten. Soon afterward, he dies, as much from shame as from his injuries, leaving his widow and four children further impoverished. The family's loss propels them down different paths: the responsible son, Kamel, takes over his late father’s post in the Club's storeroom, even as his law school friends seduce him into revolutionary politics; Mahmud joins his brother working at the Club but spends his free time sleeping with older women — for a fee, which he splits with his partner in crime, his devil-may-care workout buddy and neighbor, Fawzy; their greedy brother Said breaks away to follow ambitions of his own; and their only sister, Saleha, is torn between her dream of studying mathematics and the security of settling down as a wife and saving her family.It is at the Club, too, that Kamel's dangerous politics will find the favor and patronage of the king's seditious cousin, an unlikely revolutionary plotter–cum–bon vivant. Soon, both servants and masters will be subsumed by the brewing social upheaval. And the Egyptians of the Automobile Club will face a stark choice: to live safely, but without dignity, or to fight for their rights and risk everything.Full of absorbing incident, and marvelously drawn characters, Alaa Al Aswany's novel gives us Egypt on the brink of changes that resonate to this day. It is an irresistible confirmation of Al Aswany's reputation as one of the Middle East's most beguiling storytellers and insightful interpreters of the human spirit.Auszeichnung : isbn searchedWörter : 166183

lgli/Luc Capdevila [Capdevila, Luc] - Les indiens des frontières coloniales (2020, Presses Universitaires de Rennes).epub

Les indiens des frontières coloniales Luc Capdevila [Capdevila, Luc] Presses Universitaires de Rennes, 2020

En quoi l’Amérique australe serait-elle traversée par des « frontières coloniales » jusqu’au XXe siècle ? En effet, si la conquête de l’Amérique par les Européens s’est concrétisée par leur prise de possession rapide de territoires répartis sur l’ensemble du continent, dès le XVIe siècle ils se heurtent à des limites qui marquent le pas de l’expansion coloniale. Celles-ci sont imposées par des peuples amérindiens qui résistent à leur avancée ; elles sont aussi environnementales, des milieux sont difficiles à pénétrer ou à contrôler. D’autres territoires restent éloignés des grandes voies de circulation. De sorte qu’au milieu du XIXe siècle, une grande partie des terres américaines demeure à l’écart de l’expansion européenne. Les années 1860-1880 marquent la fin du processus de conquête des terres amérindiennes, qui se prolonge néanmoins jusqu’au XXe siècle dans des espaces plus difficiles d’accès. Cet ouvrage analyse en quoi les régions de l’entre-deux restent dans la longue durée des espaces mouvants, des points de rencontre, où se font face l’autonomie indienne et le pouvoir colonial hispanique. Ces espaces ne sont pas une ligne radicale, mais une zone poreuse faite d’échanges, de négociations et de conflits. Le Cône sud constitue un observatoire privilégié permettant de travailler des régions qui transcendent les limites administratives des empires hispano-portugais, puis celles des États-nations. Le livre s’ouvre sur les systèmes classificatoires des altérités indiennes fabriqués par le monde colonial en fonction de son entreprise hégémonique. La deuxième partie se situe à l’époque républicaine, au XIXe siècle, qui scelle l’encerclement puis la défaite militaire des derniers groupes indiens souverains. L’ouvrage se clôt sur le cas singulier du Chaco qui connaît la poursuite, encore au XXe siècle, d’un état de choses rejoignant par bien des aspects le plus classique des colonialismes de l’époque impériale.

Anglo-German Interactions in the Literature of the 1890s (Legenda) Patrick Bridgwater Routledge, Taylor & Francis (Unlimited), Abingdon, Oxon, 2017

'This is a study of what the main''aesthetic''writers of late 19th-century Britain made of German literature, and of how Germany in turn reacted to them. The impact of Anglo-Scottish art nouveau in fin-de-siecle Austria and Germany made it predictable that Keats, Pater and Rossetti, among others, would be well received, but no one could have known in advance that by the time of their deaths, Swinburne and Wilde would be more highly regarded in Germany than in Britain. Bridgwater's documented study casts light on the central cultural issues of the day, including ideas of morality, truth and subjectivism in art, comparing Pater and Wilde with Nietzsche, and George Moore, that chameleon of the decadent 90s, with Schopenhauer.'

Flashbacks : eyewitness accounts of the rock revolution, 1964-1974 Lydon, Michael New York: Routledge, New York, New York State, 2003

Flashbacks is an eyewitness account of '60s rock as it was being made. Michael Lydon-the first editor of Rolling Stone and a participant in the rock revolution-enjoyed unique access to the people and events when rock was new. His profiles of the founding fathers and mothers of '60s rock are unique in that they are based on first-hand interviews and on-the-spot reporting. This collection includes the first piece written on the Monterey Pop Festival of 1967 (written only 48 hours after the festival, and never before published); an account of the Rolling Stones's U.S. tour of December 1969; Janis Joplin's dramatic rise and equally dramatic fall; The Grateful Dead at home in their communal house in San Francisco and on stage at Winterland; and much more.

The Automobile Club of Egypt : A Novel Alaa Al Aswany; translated from the Arabic by Russell Harris Vintage Books, Penguin Random House LLC, [N.p.], 2015

In British-occupied Egypt, on the eve of the 1952 revolution, respected landowner Abd el-Aziz Gaafar has fallen on hard times. Bankrupt, he moves his family to Cairo and takes a menial job at the Automobile Club, a luxurious lodge for its European members, where Egyptians appear only as fearful servants. When Abd el-Aziz's pride gets the better of him and he stands up for himself, he is subjected to a corporal punishment that ultimately kills him—leaving two of his sons obliged to work in the Club. As the nation teeters on the brink of change, both servants and masters are subsumed by social upheaval, and the Egyptians of the Automobile Club face a choice: to live safely but without dignity as servants, or to risk everything and fight for their rights. Exuberant and powerfully moving, The Automobile Club of Egypt is an essential work of social criticism from one of the Arab world's greatest literary voices.
