LEBANON WAR STORIES
TRANSLATED FROM ARABIC 

FROM THE INTRODUCTION:

..."As a writer who has lived through the tradgedies of her people and her counrty, and who sees similar tradgedies unfolding with similar peoples around the world, I have to ask what effect this writing has .I must ask if the word still possesses the power to champion right-does it still possess the strength to carry the cries of the destitute and oppressed? And I must ask if there are still, in a world filled with the clamour of war machinery,ears that can hear the moans of the weak and the cries of the desperate".
Emily Nasrallah

          FROM THE TRANSLATOR'S NOTE:

..."Emily Nasrallah, in writing her short stories, has used a blend of both the classical and the colloquial.
In her narrative she has employed a poetic, evocative, classiacl language, rich in imagery and metaphor.
The challange to any translator is in the faithful interpretation of the poetry and imagery, and in retaining
the atmosphere evoked and the cultural flavour.
... These stories will be enjoyed by readers of English and will shed some light on the culture and region
from which they emerge"
