Bloomsbury presents Walking through Fire by Nawal El Saadawi, read by Nadia Albina

In Walking through Fire, Nawal El Saadawi, author of Woman at Point Zero and one of the Arab world’s greatest writers, tells the story of the later years of a life which shaped an iconic voice in global feminism. Covering her life in Nasser’s then Sadat’s and Mubarak’s Egypt, we learn about Saadawi’s experience of marriage and motherhood, and we travel with her into exile after her life was threatened by religious extremists. Filled with warmth as well as critical reflection, this book reveals the later years of a remarkable life dedicated to the fight for justice and equality.©2024 Nawal El Saadawi (P)2024 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Recensioni della critica

The accumulated facts of El Saadawi’s life sound grim, but this is not the experience of reading her memoir, which is stormy and vivid, characterized by great intellectual and emotional restlessness. Her story [has] a pungency and intimacy that more varnished memoirs often lack. And what shines through it all is her indomitability and self-belief... Stormy and vivid, characterized by great intellectual and emotional restlessness ... It seems certain that without powerful self-belief and faith in her own instincts, she would not have survived
El Saadawi's poetic prose and searing details keep the pages alive with stories of triumph, dissent, death and disappointment
A moving repudiation of those who have made Egypt's history in the last century
I think her life has been one long death threat. At a time when nobody else was talking, she spoke the unspeakable
This is what great art does. It closes the great chasms between us. With words, Saadawi peels away the artifice to reveal the beating heart beneath the surface. We come away from this book as we do from all her others, amazed at her cool courage, profound insight, and deep passion. Without her brave work an entire country would not be fully known
