Bøger af Mai Ghoussoub

A selection of the author's writings on war in the Middle East and elsewhere, the sexist gaze, censorship, and Abu Ghraib.

A twelve-year-old girl writes an essay that extols revenge to impress her teacher, and is surprised to receive criticism rather than praise. 'Revenge', Mrs Nomy insists, is 'the most cowardly' human behaviour. Years later, having fled Beirut, she reflects upon the devastating role revenge has played in her country.
