Nada is no stranger to protest. She is five years old when her French mother takes her to visit her Egyptian father, a political activist with a passing resemblance to President Nasser, in prison. When he returns home a changed man five years later, their little family begins to fracture, and eventually Nada's mother moves back to Paris. Through her teenage years Nada is surrounded by the language of protest--"anarchism," "Trotskyism," communism"--and, one summer in Paris, she discovers the '68 movement and her first love. And how to slam doors in anger. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Through student sit-ins, imprisonments, passionate arguments, accidental alliances, fallen friends, joys, and regrets, Nada's story grows into the story of Egypt's many celebrated activists, such as Arwa Saleh and Siham Sabri. Moving, uplifting, and deeply human, Radwa Ashour's masterpiece is the story of Egypt in the second half of the twentieth century and a paean to all those who choose a life of activism and quiet defiance.… (more)

يستضيف التليفزيون احد لواءا الشرطه بوصفه خبيرا في الجماعات الارهابية واذا بحثت في تاريخة وجدت انه كان مسئول عن تعذيب في احد المعتقلات او السجون
لم احك لحازم عن واقعة الفأر في احد السجون في سجن تدمر بسوريا , شاهد زميل ارغم علي ابتلاع فار ميت
وشعارت الطلبة في فرنسا بعد الاضراب ..... كونوا واقعيين اطلبوا المستحيل ... حينما يمتحنوكم باسئلة اجيبهوم باسئلة
حيث عرف فوكو السجن باطلاق قدرة النظام علي التحكم بحرية الشخص ووقته يوما بعد يوم يقرر له متي يصحو , متي يعمل متي يستريح متي يتكلم


رضوي عاشور مميزه جدا باسلوبها , فرواياتها متزنة دائما تجمع شق نفسي واخر جتماعي وشق عاطفي وبالتاكبد لاتنسي الشق التاريخي او السياسي
الرواية تتحدث عن ندي , و"ابو ندي" الاب الذي سجن في المعتقل لخمس سنوات وعن صراعه بعد ذلك وصراعها هي نفسها واصدقائها بعد فتره من الزمن
صراع نفسي ينتهي بانتحار اتنين منهم وتخلي اخرين عن مبادئهم رغم تعصبهم في البداية
وانهتها بفرج , احببت فرج جدا , مميز فرج ومحظوظ ( )

نصفها الأول شيق والثاني ممل، مع كثير من الحشو والتكرار والتخبط. بقيت آملاً أن تعدّل النهاية من رتابة العرض، إلا أنّ عاشور ختمتها برواية تزممارت لأحمد مرزوقي عوضاً عن نهاية خاصة بالرواية نفسها، فوجدتُها مخيبة. ( )

بداية موفقة الى حد كبير فى بداية قراءتى لرضوى عاشور ...
اسلوب السرد آخاذ ومبهر
جعلنى اتعايش مع "ندى" من طفولتها حتى كهولتها
وان لم اجد فيها تغيرا كثيرا سوى تقلبات المراحل العمرية
تناولها لصور النضال لثلاث اجيال مختلفة فى احقاب زمنية متفاوتة
والتعذيب والمعتقلات فى دول مختلفة
تتغير الأحقاب والأماكن وتمر الأزمان ويظل النضال نضالا

"كونوا واقعيين واطلبوا المستحيل "
لأنه ليس هناك ماهو محال ... تلك هى الحقيقة


انتظارى للفرج فى كل فصل :D
تيقنت انه سيكون فى الخاتمة ....
"فرج "
الذى ابتنى لنفسه عشا تحت سقف الزنزانة
هو موجود اذن لن يتخلى عنهم ولا عن من هم بعدهم
وان طال الانتظار فالفرج موجود حتما :)
