Description

This questionable best-selling book in the Arabic world shows the governmental sexual repression, problem, religious extremism, and contemporary expectations of Egypt nowadays. All types of problematic and delicate humanity live in the Yacoubian Building, an once-elegant brow of Art-Deco elegance today gradually rotting within the smog and bustle of downtown Cairo: a diminishing aristocrat and self-proclaimed "researcher of ladies"; a sexy, sexy alarm; a passionate young pupil, experiencing the amazing draw toward fundamentalism; a paper publisher helplessly in deep love with a cop; a damaged and corpulent politician, rotating the Koran to justify his wishes. These disparate lifestyles careen toward an intense summary in Alaa Al Aswanyis amazing worldwide best-seller. Teeming with sincere empathy and honest sex, this guide is definitely an essential screen onto the knowledge of loss and love-in the Arabic world.
