Sunset Oasis
Winner of the 2008 International Prize for Arabic Fiction. When Mahmoud is sent to govern a remote Egyptian oasis in the late 1890s, he knows the danger he faces - his predecessors were murdered. Once at Siwa, Mahmoud finds himself caught between two warring factions, while his Irish wife Catherine, with her Western ways, succeeds in alienating the entire community - all except for a beautiful young woman, whose attempt at friendship spells disaster. A complex tale of love and an exploration of power, occupation and rebellion, SUNSET OASIS is a striking work by one of the Arab world's most celebrated writers.

Über den Autor
Bahaa Taher was born in 1935 in Cairo, Egypt. He was active in the country's left-wing literary circles of the 1960s and in the mid 1970s was prevented from publishing his work. After many years of exile in Switzerland, he has recently returned to Egypt, and has received the State's Award of Merit in Literature, the highest honour the Egyptian establishment can confer on a writer. In 2008 he was awarded the inaugural International Prize for Arabic Fiction for SUNSET OASIS.
