The book I bought most recently was "Cheapest Nights" by Yusuf Idris, in Arabic; I bought a little more than a week ago.
It is the first collection of short stories to be published for this great Egyptian author in 1955.
It was translated into English in 1978 by Peter Owen.
It is a collection of 21 short stories expressing many views of the common Egyptian citizens along with deep symbolic representation of moral and political topics; characters that show Idris's genius that was nominated for the Nobel Prize of Literature in 1988, the same year when another Egyptian prominent author, Naguib Mahfouz, won the prize.
"One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die."
From John Donne's "Death, Be Not Proud"

Moderators,
I request this thread to be changed to a sticky, many DVD and movie forums usually feature these types of stickies. And, why not a literary here at LitNet?
