"Nawal el Saadawi writes with directness and passion, transforming the systematic brutalisation of peasants and of women in to powerful allegory" - New York Times Book Review "Scorching" - New Internationalist "A powerful indictment of the treatment of women in many parts of the Middle East" - Labour Herald "Woman at Point Zero should begin the long march towards a realistic and sympathetic portrayal of Arab women" - Middle East International "A dramatic symbolised version of female revolt against the norms of the Arab world" - The Guardian "El Saadawi has a flair for melodrama and mystery" - International Journal of Middle East Studies "It is a remarkable book. Painful, compulsive reading. I am sure some of you know all about it but for those who don't this short novel, or creative non-fiction as the author describes it, is the story of Fidraus, a prostitute about to be executed for murdering her pimp. Her life is recounted in a little over 100 pages but each one leaves an indelible mark. This is a tale of injustice, inequality and sheer bad luck to rival all those bloody misery memoirs that litter the supermarkets but it is written with such grace and skill as to be on a par with the finest literature of this or any era. [...] Leaves an indelible mark. This is a tale of injustice, inequality and sheer bad luck…written with such grace and skill as to be on a part with the finest literature of this or any era… haunting, poetic and fiercely relevant". - Scott Pack, The Friday Project Appartiene alle Collane EditorialiAstrea [Giunti] (3) È contenuto inElenchi di rilievo
'An unforgettable, unmissable book for the new global feminist.' The Times 'All the men I did get to know filled me with but one desire: to lift my hand and bring it smashing down on his face.' So begins Firdaus's remarkable story of rebellion against a society founded on lies, hypocrisy, brutality and oppression. Born to a peasant family in the Egyptian countryside, Firdaus struggles through childhood, seeking compassion and knowledge in a world which gives her little of either. As she grows up and escapes the fetters of her childhood, each new relationship teaches her a bitter but liberating truth - that the only free people are those who want nothing, fear nothing and hope for nothing. This classic novel has been an inspiration to countless people across the world. Saadawi's searing indictment of society's brutal treatment of women continues to resonate today.
