Journalists visit her, but get nowhere; because Nahr is not going to share her story with them. The world outside calls Nahr a terrorist, and a whore; some might call her a revolutionary, or a hero. But the truth is, Nahr has always been many things, and had many names. She was a girl who learned, early and painfully, that when you are a second class citizen love is a kind of desperation; she learned, above all else, to survive. She was a girl who went to Palestine in the wrong shoes, and without looking for it found what she had always lacked in the basement of a battered beauty parlour: purpose, politics, friends. She found a dark-eyed man called Bilal, who taught her to resist; who tried to save her when it was already too late. Nahr sits in the Cube, and tells her story to Bilal. Bilal, who isn't there; Bilal, who may not even be alive, but who is her only reason to get out.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more-link-wrap opened\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2019-10-03\"\u003ePublished: 11\/01\/2024\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: \u003cspan id=\"P1201_ISBN\" class=\"display_only apex-item-display-only\"\u003e9781526618818\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 384 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: \u003cspan class=\"display_only apex-item-display-only\" id=\"P1201_FORMAAT\"\u003e198 x 129 x 24\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 261g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Bookworm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50953666756945,"sku":null,"price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/7020\/1169\/files\/9781526618818.jpg?v=1744641480"},{"product_id":"bad-habit","title":"Bad Habit","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"display_only apex-item-display-only\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCombining the raw realism and vulnerability of \u003cem\u003eShuggie Bain\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDetransition, Baby\u003c\/em\u003e with the poignant sensibility of Pedro Almodóvar, a staggering coming-of-age novel deeply rooted in the struggles of a trans woman growing up in Madrid.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnchored by the voice of its sweet and defiant narrator, \u003cem\u003eBad Habit\u003c\/em\u003e casts a trans woman’s trying youth as a heartfelt odyssey.

Ariel, Alaa’s neighbour and friend, is a liberal Zionist, critical of the military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza yet faithful to the project of Israel. When he wakes up one morning to find that all Palestinians have suddenly vanished, Ariel begins searching for clues to the secret of the collective disappearance; that search, and his reaction to it, intimately reveal the fissures at the heart of the Palestinian question. Between the stories of Alaa and Ariel are the people of Jaffa and Tel Aviv against whose ordinary lives these fissures and questions play out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCritically acclaimed in Arabic, spare yet evocative, intensely intelligent in its interplay of perspectives, The Book of Disappearance is an unforgettable glimpse into contemporary Palestine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"t-rte\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2022-10-20\"\u003ePublished: 29\/07\/2024\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 9781916751026\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 240 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: \u003cspan id=\"P1201_FORMAAT\" class=\"display_only apex-item-display-only\"\u003e197 x 131 x 15\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"display_only apex-item-display-only\"\u003eWeight: 186g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Bookworm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559931248977,"sku":null,"price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/7020\/1169\/files\/9781916751026.jpg?v=1753876838"},{"product_id":"human-acts","title":"Human Acts","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"display_only apex-item-display-only\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-details__description p1\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"t-rte\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte mt-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmid a violent student uprising in South Korea, a young boy named Dong-ho is shockingly killed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe story of this tragic episode unfolds in a sequence of interconnected chapters as the victims and the bereaved encounter suppression, denial, and the echoing agony of the massacre.
