Moon Over Samarqand Modern Arabic Literature Hardcover

A journey through Central Asia and beyond, Moon over Samarqand is the story of one Egyptian's quest for the truth. Ali's travel brings him into encounters with the Uzbekistan of today, yesterday, and once upon a time. His tale embraces many tales-those of his confounding taxi driver, of Islamic activists, and of the criminal underworld as well as stories of struggles against authoritarianism in Egypt. The novel shows diverse historical and modern connections between Central Asia and the Arab world. It also explores power struggles between opposition currents and governments since the Uzbeki Soviet era and Egypt's Nasser period.
