Land of Sad Oranges

Product details

The Land of Sad Oranges by Ghassan Kanafani... The Land of Sad Oranges, in its various stories, paints the multifaceted facets of the Palestinian tragedy, as if it intends for the story to be a mirror of reality and memory, and for language to be a series of multiple bends before the human pain embodied in this mirror. The Land of Sad Oranges is Kanafani's second attempt to establish his creative vision of the Palestinian horizon, which he seeks to depict with his words. This horizon is intertwined with memory, as if the Palestinian cannot free himself from his memory in moments of stunned silence before the tragedy, or as if this memory will be the gateway through which he will pass to discover the only possible path to himself.
