Paperback. Condition: New. The first of several works in Arabic to deal with the way in which an individual tries to come to terms with two divergent culturesTogether with such figures as the scholar Taha Hussein, the playwright Tawfik al-Hakim, the short story writer Mahmoud Teymour and-of course-Naguib Mahfouz, Yahya Hakki bel…ongs to that distinguished band of early writers who, midway through the last century, under the influence of Western literature, began to practice genres of creative writing that were new to the traditions of classical Arabic.In the first story in this volume, the very short ''Story in the Form of a Petition,'' Yahya Hakki demonstrates his ease with gentle humor, a form rare in Arabic writing. In the following two stories, ''Mother of the Destitute'' and ''A Story from Prison,'' he describes with typical sympathy individuals who, less privileged than others, somehow manage to scrape through life's hardships. The latter story deals with the people of Upper Egypt, for whom the writer had a special understanding and affection. It is, however, for the title story (in fact, more of a novella) of this collection that the writer is best known. Recounting the difficulties faced by a young man who is sent to England to study medicine and who then returns to Egypt to pit his new ideals against tradition, ''The Lamp of Umm Hashim'' was the first of several works in Arabic to deal with the way in which an individual tries to come to terms with two divergent cultures.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Erzählt wird die Geschichte des jungen Ägypters Ismail, der zum Medizinstudium nach England geschickt wird. Eine ganze Familie schränkt sich ein, um ihm eine glanzvolle Zukunft zu ermöglichen. Wissbegierig stürzt er sich in das neue Leben in Europa, tatendurstig kehrt er anschließend als Arzt in s…eine Heimat Ägypten zurück. Nach seiner Rückkehr in den Schoß der Familie gerät er in Konflikt mit der traditionellen Lebensweise im Kairener Altstadtviertel Sayyida Zainab. Es fällt ihm nicht leicht, sich dort wieder einzufinden, zu sehr unterscheiden sich die europäische rationale Denkweise von der orientalisch, magisch-religiös geprägten Weltanschauung. Der Konflikt zwischen Nord und Süd, zwischen Tradition und Moderne wird hier auf beispielhafte Weise verhandelt - eine bis heute hoch aktuelle Problematik.Durch diese Erzählung wurde Hakki berühmt, denn er war einer der ersten, der sich dieser Thematik annahm und sprachlich und stilistisch neue Maßstäbe für die arabische Literatur setzte. Inzwischen ist diese Erzählung ein Klassiker der modernen arabischen Literatur.
