"Hanadi Al-Samman presents an abridged and annotated version of contemporary Syrian author Nihad Serees's ... novel Al-Samt wa-al-Sakhab, which has been banned in Syria (English title: The Silence and the Roar). The book begins with the novel, which includes footnotes for vocabulary aid, and is followed by a section of pre- and post-reading questions and activities to help teachers of Arabic language students work through literary concepts of the novel. ... Al-Samman worked closely with Sirees, who approved this adaptation, to adapt the novel while preserving the author's style and wording so that it remains true to his voice. This exciting and contemporary novel includes very timely themes about repressive governments, and, at its core, how to remain free even when you have been captured. Al-Samt wa-al-Sakhab has been translated into English, making it much more appealing to students and teachers alike"--

Autorenporträt
Hanadi Al-Samman is an associate professor of Arabic language and literature at the University of Virginia. Her research focuses on contemporary Arabic literature, diaspora, and sexuality studies, as well as transnational and Islamic feminisms. She is the author of Anxiety of Erasure: Trauma, Authorship, and the Diaspora in Arab Women's Writings and coeditor of The Beloved in Middle Eastern Literatures: The Culture of Love and Languishing. Nihad Sirees was born in Aleppo, Syria, in 1950. The writer of novels, plays, and screenplays, Sirees is best known for his realistic portrayal of Syria's social, political, and historical issues. Although his work was banned from publication in Syria after Sirees was branded an opponent of the government, The Silence and the Roar has been translated into several languages. After facing increased pressure and surveillance from the Syrian government, Sirees left for Egypt in 2012. He currently lives in Berlin, Germany.
