Ibrahim Nasrallah's UK tour
Ibrahim Nasrallah is touring the UK from 13th to 19th November to launch the English translation of his historical novel Time of White Horses.
Ibrahim Nasrallah was born in Amman, Jordan, and raised in a Palestinian
refugee camp. Through the lives of three generations of a Palestinian family in
a small village, Nasrallah depicts the tragedy of a whole nation under changing
historical circumstances: from the late Ottoman rule to the establishment of
the State of Israel in 1948.
With the fusion of historical record with oral history and memory, Ibrahim Nasrallah paints a vivid picture of Palestinian villagers' preoccupations and aspirations and through a number of memorable characters the reader relive the realities of the Palestinian village in the early twentieth century and the Palestinians' struggle to maintain the autonomy and dignity they had known for centuries.
Time of White Horses (AUC Press, translated by Nancy Roberts) was short-listed for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction 2008–2009.
