The story of Firdaus, one of the greatest characters ever created in fiction
Klappentext zu „Woman at Point Zero “
Firdaus is on death row. Her crime, the murder of a man. Born to poverty in a rural Egyptian village, her childhood dreams and ambitions had been met with neglect and abuse by the world and the men who rule it. Driven to sex work to support herself, she is faced with the moral outrage of society and the bitter knowledge that for a woman, true freedom comes only when all hope is abandoned. In Nawal El Saadawi's landmark novel, Woman at Point Zero, published here with a new foreword, Firdaus tells her unforgettable story.
Autoren-Porträt von Nawal El Saadawi
Nawal El Saadawi was born in a village outside Cairo, Egypt, in 1931. A trained medical doctor, she wrote landmark works on the oppression of Arab women including Woman at Point Zero (1973), God Dies by the Nile (1976) and The Hidden Face of Eve (1977). After being imprisoned by Anwar Sadat's government for criticising the regime, she founded the Arab Women's Solidarity Association in 1982, before being forced into exile in later life due to death threats by religious extremists. She returned to Egypt in 1996, running for president in 2005 until government persecution forced her to withdraw. Saadawi died in Egypt in 2021.
