Mahmoud Darwish vividly recreates the sights and sounds of a city under terrible siege. As fighter jets scream overhead, he explores the war-ravaged streets of Beirut on August 6th (Hiroshima Day).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eMemory for Forgetfulness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is an extended reflection on the invasion and its political and historical dimensions. It is also a journey into personal and collective memory. What is the meaning of exile? What is the role of the writer in time of war? What is the relationship of writing (memory) to history (forgetfulness)? In raising these questions, Darwish implicitly connects writing, homeland, meaning, and resistance in an ironic, condensed work that combines wit with rage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIbrahim Muhawi's translation beautifully renders Darwish's testament to the heroism of a people under siege, and to Palestinian creativity and continuity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca:text textemphasis=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/a:text\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"productInfoTabExpanderHeader0\" class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\"\u003e\u003ca role=\"button\" data-action=\"a-expander-toggle\" class=\"a-declarative\" data-a-expander-toggle='{\"allowLinkDefault\":true, \"expand_prompt\":\"Leer más\", \"collapse_prompt\":\"Leer menos\"}'\u003e\u003ci class=\"a-icon a-icon-extender-collapse\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-expander-prompt\"\u003eLeer menos\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Book Lovers BD","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":55499614880035,"sku":null,"price":230.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":55499614912803,"sku":null,"price":360.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":55499614945571,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/5872\/2083\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_67677f95-6c1b-476f-942b-4cecbb4c69ac.jpg?v=1787414623","url":"https:\/\/www.bookloversbd.shop\/products\/memory-for-forgetfulness-august-beirut-1982-book-by-mahmoud-darwish","provider":"Book Lovers BD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
