Böcker av Mahmoud Saeed

Masterfully bringing the sights and sounds of Iraq to life, this wise, wry tale by a prominent and prolific Iraqi novelist chronicles an affluent Iraqi family's attempt to maintain a sense of normality during the Iran-Iraq war.

Mahmud Saeed sends us a series of postcards from the Morocco of the late 1960's, as seen through the eyes of a young teacher and political exile from Iraq. He shows us the beauty, turmoil, despair, and survival of a people and a nation in a time of upheaval and change.
