"When the captain announced from the cockpit that the plane had entered the Egyptian aerospace, Mohsen Araaf looked through the window and saw the green delta of the Nile. With the approach to Cairo, the green color changed into yellow surrounding Cairo Airport. Three hours ago, he left Geneva engulfed by the green mountains of Savoy Alps, the city he had lived in for twenty five years and might not return back to. After going through the passport control and customs, he picked up his luggage, and took a taxi to one of the new neighborhoods that were established almost twenty years ago. He had bought an apartment five years ago in what the Egyptians call these days a compound. These compounds are usually encircled by walls and guarded by specialized security companies. His reason for buying the apartment was to spend his holidays with his wife in Cairo, especially in winter, to avoid going to hotels. His wife loved it and was keen to buy flowers and plants to give the place a lively atmosphere. Usually these flowers and plants withered after leaving as no one looked after them. She had to buy new ones when she returned the following holiday." This is the beginning of an exciting and beautiful story ...

Paul Bowles, best known for his classic 1949 novel, The Sheltering Sky, is one of the most compelling yet elusive figures of twentieth-century American counterculture. In this definitive biography, Virginia Spencer Carr has captured Bowles in his many guises: gifted composer, expatriate novelist, and gay icon, to name only a few. Born in New York in 1910, Bowles' brilliance was evident from early childhood. His first artistic interest was music, which he studied with the composer Aaron Copland. Bowles wrote scores for films and countless plays, including pieces by Tennessee Williams and Orson Welles. Over the course of his life, his intellectual pursuits led him around the world. He cultivated a circle of artistic friends that included Gertrude Stein, W.H. Auden, Gore Vidal, Truman Capote, Allen Ginsburg, William Burroughs, Stephen Spender, and Carson McCullers. Just as fascinating for his flamboyant personality as for his literary success, Bowles' leftist politics and experimentation with drugs make him an ever-controversial character. Carr delves into Bowles' unconventional marriage to Jane Auer and his self-exile in Morocco. Close friends with him before his death in 1999, Carr's first-hand knowledge of Bowles is undeniable. This book encompasses her personal experiences plus ten years of research and interviews with some two hundred of Bowles' acquaintances. Virginia Spencer Carr has written a riveting biography that tells not only the story of Paul Bowles' literary genius, but also of a crucial period of redefinition in American culture. Carr is simultaneously entertaining and precise, delivering a wealth of information on one of the most mythologized figures of mid-century literature.

I was told to come alone. I was not to carry any identification, and would have to leave my cell phone, audio recorder, watch, and purse at my hotel . . . For her whole life, Souad Mekhennet, a reporter for the Washington Post who was born and educated in Germany, has had to balance the two sides of her upbringing - Muslim and Western. She has also sought to provide a mediating voice between these cultures, which too often misunderstand each other. In this compelling and evocative memoir, we accompany Mekhennet as she journeys behind the lines of jihad, starting in the German neighbourhoods where the 9/11 plotters were radicalised and the Iraqi neighbourhoods where Sunnis and Shia turned against one another, and culminating on the Turkish/Syrian border region where ISIS is a daily presence. In her travels across the Middle East and North Africa, she documents her chilling run-ins with various intelligence services and shows why the Arab Spring never lived up to its promise. She then returns to Europe, first in London, where she uncovers the identity of the notorious ISIS executioner 'Jihadi John', and then in France, Belgium and her native Germany, where terror has come to the heart of Western civilisation. Mekhennet's background has given her unique access to some of the world's most wanted men, who generally refuse to speak to Western journalists. She is not afraid to face personal danger to reach out to individuals in the inner circles of Al Qaeda, the Taliban, ISIS and their affiliates; when she is told to come alone to an interview, she never knows what awaits at her destination. Souad Mekhennet is an ideal guide to introduce us to the human beings behind the ominous headlines, as she shares her transformative journey with us. Hers is a story you will not soon forget.

Yesterday S Perfume written by Cherie Nutting and has been published by Three Rivers Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2000 with Biography & Autobiography categories.
Fifteen years ago, Cherie Nutting returned to Morocco. She had first visited it as a child with her mother, and the images of mystery and the desert had stayed with her, fueled over the years by accounts of expatriate life and by the literature created there. In Tangier again, she met the most famous of the expatriates and author of the classic The Sheltering Sky. Cherie became a friend of Paul Bowles and part of his circle. Over the years, the friendship deepened and widened. Yesterday's Perfume is a memoir of that friendship and of Cherie's love of Morocco. She had unparalleled access to Paul, and recorded, journal-like, their conversations and the events of everyday life. Interwoven among Cherie's narrative are bits and pieces of Paul's previously unpublished writings -- diarylike fragments, retellings of dreams, little stories -- a sharp counterpoint in his inimitable voice. Unlike most memoirs, Yesterday's Perfume is blessed with a wealth of extraordinary images. Cherie has created a visual record of their friendship, capturing intimate moments, making formal portraits, recording the comings and goings of celebrities and friends. And here, too, the dialogue with Bowles continues, for Paul has jotted down his reactions in the borders and on the prints. Several other friends have contributed to these pages, Peter Beard, Ned Rorem, and Bruce Weber among them. But key is the collaboration of Cherie and Paul. Together they have created a touching portrait of friendship and a road map to the mind of an artist.

Amarrando Adioses written by Francisco Urrea Pérez and has been published by Ediciones Cátedra Pedagógica this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2020-08-29 with Poetry categories.
El libro del poeta colombiano Francisco Urrea Pérez, Amarrando adioses, es un conjunto cinco libros: "Amarrando adioses", "Acuarela", "Pasional", "Para vencer la sequía" y "Callenígenas"). Reúne más de doscientos poemas —breves en su extensión, pero amplios y profundos en la connotación de sus metáforas. En verdad, el público lector de su primer poemario, Undívago, que ya ha trascendido las fronteras nacionales y se cuenta en varios países de Latinoamérica y Europa, estaba esperando esta nueva obra, de un poeta que cautiva por condensar en cada verso, de una manera artística, pincelazos con imágenes que sugieren múltiples significados alrededor del sino del ser humano y su ciclo vital. Amarrando adioses —de por sí un título anfibológico—, deja traslucir en sus versos derivas de los poetas como Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Mallarmé, pero lejos del hermetismo, Urrea Pérez, con el particular tono de su voz poética, da luz en la oscuridad, para que el lector, junto con el mismo poeta, pueda intentar responder y descifrar de manera personal, frente a su propio espejo, su eterna pregunta: ¿Quién soy? Aceptemos, pues, la invitación del poeta Francisco Urrea Pérez y como "Vagantes", deshojemos sus versos día a día, / noche a noche / como una margarita / (...) tomados de la vida / con nuestra alegría / al viento. Olegario Ordóñez Díaz Editor DISTANCIA Francisco Urrea Pérez Viejo dolor, amigo. Estaría solo si ya no te sintiera. Me dices que en la puerta de mi casa no la espere porque acodada en su ventana aún me aguarda. Viejo Dolor, no desesperes no desesperes dolor, no desesperes. BOHEMIA Sabor a puerto a vino añejo y a uva fresca murga, marea y solana sabor a ti en el ocaso.
