A twelve-year-old girl writes an essay that extols revenge to impress her teacher, and is surprised to receive criticism rather than praise. 'Revenge', Mrs Nomy insists, is 'the most cowardly' human behaviour. Years later, having fled Beirut, she reflects upon the devastating role revenge has played in her country. Might she have found it so easy to forgive if she had stayed? Or might she, too, have contemplated retribution? A compelling and humane book, which abounds in courage and compassion. 'One of those rare books that leaves its readers able to breathe more deeply, with a renewed sense that life, for all its cruelties, is beautiful.' Maggie Gee 'A writer, artist and publisher who took her passion for life, controversy and feminism to the streets of Beirut and London.' Malu Halasa, Guardian 'A tangled and creative mix of memoir, fiction, recollection, old-fashioned yarn-spinning, postmodern pastiche, literary criticism and methodically plotted political essay.' Daily Star, Lebanon 'One of the most poignant testimonies to the Lebanese civil war' Moris Farhi.

As an uneasy peace settles over war-scattered Beirut, a woman reflects: who would she have been if she had not witnessed bonds of friendship turn in to animosities, and decent human beings transformed into villains? Her memories intertwine with readings in history, newspaper headlines and television reportage. She remembers the stories of revenge and retaliation she once tried to escape, and finds herself drawn back to them, as events - past or present - in Bosnia, Rwanda or Argentina remind her... As an uneasy peace settles over war-scattered Beirut, a woman reflects: who would she have been if she had not witnessed bonds of friendship turn in to animosities, and decent human beings transformed into villains? Her memories intertwine with readings in history, newspaper headlines and television reportage. She remembers the stories of revenge and retaliation she once tried to escape, and finds herself drawn back to them, as events - past or present - in Bosnia, Rwanda or Argentina remind her of the tragedies that shaped her life. What has she achieved in her voluntary exile, and what would have become of her if she had stayed? Would she have learnt to forgive, like Umm Ali, or harboured revenge, like Leila's grandmother? And who was Said? A gentle grocery boy or a blood-thirsty torturer who terrorised entire neighbourhoods? In this seamless tapestry of personal reminiscence and imaginative reconstruction, historical document and ethical investigation, Mai Ghoussoub reminds us that Beirut is everywhere.Taal: Engels;Oorspronkelijke titel: Leaving Beirut: Women and the Wars Within;Afmetingen: 14x220x145 mm;Gewicht: 213,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: september 2007;ISBN10: 0863566766;ISBN13: 9780863566769; Engelstalig | Paperback | 2007.
