Marmaduke Pickthall
2 libros
- Saïd the Fisherman EnglishSaid cheats, charms, and blunders his way from a Syrian fishing village to Damascus and beyond, a picaresque with no interest in redeeming him. Pickthall knew these streets; the Arab world here is a lived place, not painted scenery.
- Veiled Women EnglishAn Englishwoman converts and marries into Cairo society, and Pickthall, who became Muslim himself, writes harem life from inside rather than through the keyhole. Unhurried, sympathetic, and more clear-eyed about both cultures than its era usually managed.
