Heralded by many critics as being a work that prophesied the Lebanese civil war, Beirut '75 is instead a work that expresses the existential and political views of its author and not the complete reality of the socio-political situation at that critical moment in Lebanese history. Even though Ghada al-Samman argues that the work is not autobiographical and that she does not profess any particular political stance, the work is permeated with her political views and her own personal life experience. The city of Beirut, torn between the East and the West, can even be viewed as a metaphor for the author herself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Nicolas El-Hage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541391810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541391819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.17d","brand":"George Nicolas El-Hage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44809878503679,"sku":"9781541391819","price":30.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d37d087-c0c8-4534-9cd1-7e88eabf2d70.jpg?v=1707927728","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ghada-al-sammans-beirut-75-george-nicolas-el-hage-9781541391819","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
