À propos de ce produit

Product Information

'All the men I did get to know, every single man of them, has filled me with but one desire: to lift my hand and bring it smashing down on his face. But because I am a woman I have never had the courage to lift my hand. And because I am a prostitute, I hid my fear under layers of make-up'. So begins Firdaus' story, leading to her grimy Cairo prison cell, where she welcomes her death sentence as a relief from her pain and suffering. Born to a peasant family in the Egyptian countryside, Firdaus suffers a childhood of cruelty and neglect. Her passion for education is ignored by her family, and on leaving school she is forced to marry a much older man. Following her escapes from violent relationships, she finally meets Sharifa who tells her that 'A man does not know a woman's value... the higher you price yourself the more he will realise what you are really worth' and leads her into a life of prostitution. Desperate and alone, she takes drastic action. Saadawi's searing indictment of society's brutal treatment of women continues to resonate today. This classic novel has been an inspiration to countless people across the world.

Reviews
"A tragic insight into a woman's oppression and downfall." -- Banipal "El Saadawi has a flair for melodrama and mystery" -- International Journal of Middle East Studies "A powerful indictment of the treatment of women in many parts of the Middle East" -- Labour Herald "Woman at Point Zero should begin the long march towards a realistic and sympathetic portrayal of Arab women" -- Middle East International "Scorching" -- New Internationalist "Nawal el Saadawi writes with directness and passion, transforming the systematic brutalisation of peasants and of women in to powerful allegory" -- New York Times Book Review "A dramatic symbolised version of female revolt against the norms of the Arab world" -- The Guardian "It is a remarkable book. Painful, compulsive reading. I am sure some of you know all about it but for those who don't this short novel, or creative non-fiction as the author describes it, is the story of Fidraus, a prostitute about to be executed for murdering her pimp. Her life is recounted in a little over 100 pages but each one leaves an indelible mark. This is a tale of injustice, inequality and sheer bad luck to rival all those bloody misery memoirs that litter the supermarkets but it is written with such grace and skill as to be on a par with the finest literature of this or any era. Leaves an indelible mark. This is a tale of injustice, inequality and sheer bad luck" -- Scott Pack, The Friday Project, "Nawal el Saadawi writes with directness and passion, transforming the systematic brutalisation of peasants and of women in to powerful allegory." --New York Times Book Review "Scorching" --New Internationalist "A powerful indictment of the treatment of women in many parts of the Middle East." --Labour Herald "Woman at Point Zero should begin the long march towards a realistic and sympathetic portrayal of Arab women." --Middle East International "A dramatic symbolised version of female revolt against the norms of the Arab world." --The Guardian "El Saadawi has a flair for melodrama and mystery." --International Journal of Middle East Studies, "All the men I did get to know, every single man of them, has filled me with but one desire: to lift my hand and bring it smashing down on his face. But because I am a woman I have never had the courage to lift my hand. And because I am a prostitute, I hid my fear under layers of make-up." - ExcerptThis is a new edition of the best-selling novel with aspecially commissioned new Foreword by Miriam Cooke., "Nawal el Saadawi writes with directness and passion, transforming the systematic brutalisation of peasants and of women in to powerful allegory." -- New York Times Book Review "Scorching" -- New Internationalist "A powerful indictment of the treatment of women in many parts of the Middle East." -- Labour Herald "Woman at Point Zero should begin the long march towards a realistic and sympathetic portrayal of Arab women." -- Middle East International "A dramatic symbolised version of female revolt against the norms of the Arab world." -- The Guardian "El Saadawi has a flair for melodrama and mystery." -- International Journal of Middle East Studies
