That women will never again be shackled by society, or by circumstance, or by men.

In the caf駸 and literary salons, the great minds of the Arab renaissance meet and share ideas. Among them is May Ziadeh, pioneer of the Arab feminist movement and the great love of Khalil Gibran's life. Intense and talented, May is celebrated by the greatest writers and thinkers of Cairo's literary world, who flock to her famous salon. Yet when a series of personal losses leave her vulnerable to plots against her, she is abandoned by those she believed would protect her. Stripped of her everything and imprisoned against her will, May is left fighting for the most basic right: freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003ePrisoner of the Levant\u003c\/em\u003e, Darina Al Joundi offers a moving account of May Ziadeh's desire for emancipation and enlightenment, and an indictment of a world that does not allow women to be free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Darina Al Joundi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1802078746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781802078749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.43w x 0.17d","brand":"Darina Al Joundi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44890801012991,"sku":"9781802078749","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc41bf4d-dd88-449c-9f72-7f323979cdf4.jpg?v=1709740064","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prisoner-of-the-levant-darina-al-joundi-9781802078749","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
