Renowned Egyptian novelist Alaa Al Aswany, author of the award winning The Yacoubian Building, discusses his experience during the Egyptian revolution and his book, The Republic of False Truths, which was released in English this year. “The Egyptians I lived with in Tahrir Square have nothing to do with the Egyptians I used to live with before the revolution," Aswany tells Gilles Kepel. "They are probably the same people, but something happened, and this something is great."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

'An amazing portrait of fanaticism and cynicism among Egyptian powermongers.' Andr Aciman General Alwany is a pious man who loves his family. He also tortures and kills enemies of the state. Under the regime of Hosni Mubarak, Egypt is gripped by cronyism, religious hypocrisy, and the oppressive military. Now, however, the regime faces its greatest crisis. The idealistic young from different backgrounds - engineers, teachers, medical students, and among them the general's daughter - have come together to challenge the status quo. Euphoria mounts as Mubarak is toppled and love blossoms across class divides, but the general and his friends mount a devastating counter-attack --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

“Religion should be a personal, private issue. The state should not have any religion. This is the only way to achieve democracy.” Watch the world-renowned Egyptian novelist Alaa al-Aswany speak straightforwardly about contemporary Egypt and why a great societal change is imminent.Alaa al-Aswany was interviewed by Marc-Christoph Wagner at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk, Denmark, in November 2019.

Alaa Al Aswany, author of The Dictatorship Syndrome (2019), gives a talk for the Middle East Centre seminar series. Chaired by Professor Eugene Rogan (St Antony's College, Oxford) Alaa Al Aswany is Egypt’s most celebrated novelist and essayist whose books are runaway bestsellers in Arabic and have been translated into more than 30 languages. His second novel, The Yacoubian Building (2002) established Al Aswany as a global literary figure. This was followed by Chicago (2007), The Automobile Club (2013), and most recently, The So-called Republic (2018). A newspaper columnist until he was banned from publishing by the Egyptian government, Al Aswany has published a number of works of non-fiction treating on current affairs, including On the State of Egypt: What Made the Revolution Inevitable (2011), and Democracy is the Answer: Egypt’s Years of Revolution (2015). His most recent book is The Dictatorship Syndrome (2020), where he considers the conditions, signs, symptoms, and cures for what he terms the malady of dictatorship. The study of dictatorship in the West has acquired an almost exotic dimension. But authoritarian regimes remain a painful reality for billions of people worldwide who still live under them, their freedoms violated and their rights abused. They are subject to arbitrary arrest, torture, corruption, ignorance, and injustice. What is the nature of dictatorship? How does it take hold? In what conditions and circumstances is it permitted to thrive? And how do dictators retain power, even when reviled and mocked by those they govern? In this deeply considered and at times provocative short work, Alaa Al Aswany tells us that, as with any disease, to understand the syndrome of dictatorship we must first consider the circumstances of its emergence, along with the symptoms and complications it causes in both the people and the dictator.

This week’s episode is about translation into and out of Basque, a language that's quite literally unique.   A so-called linguistic “isolate”, Basque it’s not related to any other known language, living or dead. This makes it a thing of contrasts. In Spain it has the status of a co-official language, but it's also an endangered one, spoken by perhaps fewer than a million people. A language of great antiquity, it's also very new in that systematic efforts to expand and codify its use did not get under way until the 1960s.   In this episode Katarzyna Sosnowska (STL) talked to two translators from the Basque Country who are members of EIZIE (Association of Translators, Correctors and Interpreters of the Basque Language):   Arantzazu Royo Manterola is a translator from Arabic into Basque. A member of the EIZIE staff, Aran has organized workshops for international translators from Basque. Her translations include a trilogy by Mohammed Chukri and a novel by Alaa Al-Aswany (co-translated with Xabier Olarra), which won the 2012 Euskadi Translation Prize.   Danele Sarriugarte Mochales is a translator of English and a writer. Her two novels are "Erraiak” (2012) and "Azala erre” (2018). Her translations into Basque include books by Angela Davis, David Foster Wallace and Audre Lorde. She also writes for the Basque literary website Hitzen Uberan and other publications, and runs writing workshops.   Katarzyna Sosnowska has taken part in the Itzultzaile Berriak (New Translators) project run as part of the Donostia/San Sebastian 2016 European Capital of Culture programme. Her first translation from Basque is the novel "Samotny mężczyzna” by Bernardo Atxaga, published by Książkowe Klimaty.   The interview was conducted on 30 December 2019 in the STL office in Warsaw.   --- Na przekład jest podcastem Stowarzyszenia Tłumaczy Literatury, organizacji, która od 2009 roku zrzesza tłumaczy i tłumaczki książek, działając na rzecz lepszej widoczności zawodu, godziwych warunków pracy i życia oraz przyjaznych kontaktów między tłumaczami książek w Polsce i na świecie.   Na stronie Stowarzyszenia (stl.org.pl) można znaleźć dużą bazę ogólnodostępnej wiedzy dla osób zainteresowanych pracą tłumacza literackiego, a także kontakty do tłumaczy i tłumaczek zrzeszonych w STL.   Jeszcze więcej danych i informacji na temat aspektów finansowych, prawnych i organizacyjnych dostępnych jest dla zalogowanych członków.   Muzyka wykorzystana w czołówce i zakończeniu odcinka pochodzi z utworu "Mystery Sax" (Kevin MacLeod, Creative Commons License).

Eighth guest on Actsiders, Ali Nasser is originally from Cairo, Egypt. He is an actor, voice actor, an improv performer at UCB and a copywriter! As he'll demonstrate in the episode, he is a wonderfully gifted voice actor. Proof of his talent, he was chosen by Disney to be the voice of Mickey Mouse back in Egypt. In an effort to revive the theatre scene back there, he decided as a college student to create a theatre company. He also got cast in the Arabic adaptation of TV series ER. In our conversation, you will hear us talk about the aftermath of the Arab Spring and how he is often confronted to a catch 22 when it comes to applying for Middle Eastern roles. Have a look at the novel which Ali talks about; "The Yacoubian Building" by Alaa-Al-Aswany. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Yacoubian_Building More about Ali: www.thealinasser.com twitter.com/thealinasser facebook.com/ali.h.nasser instagram.com/thealinasser

In 2002, The Yacoubian Building was an international bestseller, establishing Alaa Al Aswany as one of the Arab world’s most influential voices. Since then, Egypt has changed radically. However, Al Aswany’s latest novel The Automobile Club of Egypt represents another satire on his country’s modern situation. In this event recorded live at the 2016 Edinburgh International Book Festival, he discusses his book and freedom of speech in a post-2011 Egypt whose government has tried to silence him.

A Conversation with Alaa Al Aswany with Eugene Rogan at the Middle East Centre, St Antony's College on 19th January 2016.

Anne McElvoy looks at what happened to the Arab Spring five years on, talking to Egyptian novelist Alaa Al-Aswany - whose new novel is called The Automobile Club of Egypt - and to satirist and critic Karl Sharro. They will be joined by Lebanese actress Sahar Assaf talking about performing in Dario Fo and Franca Rame's monologue An Arab Woman Speaks. Also in the programme, Owen Hatherley discusses his latest book The Ministry of Nostalgia. And, lexicographer Tony Thorne and writer Hannah Jane Parkinson discuss how social media is affecting language. The English premiere of Dario Fo and Franca Rame's An Arab Woman Speaks is on at the New Diorama Theatre in London until 6th February. Producer: Luke Mulhall

On Start the Week Tom Sutcliffe talks to the Egyptian writer Alaa Al Aswany about his latest novel which charts the country's social upheaval through the prism of Cairo's elite Automobile Club of Egypt. The foreign correspondent Wendell Steavenson looks back at the Egyptian revolution as the crowds gathered in Tahrir Square in 2011. The political economist Tarek Osman explores how Islamism has spread through the Middle East, and what its future prospects mean for the region, while Professor Hugh Kennedy charts the rise of the Caliphate and how the so-called Islamic State uses the iconography of early Islam as propaganda.

Cairo. The facts say one thing: the biggest city in Africa and the Middle East and now so chaotic and polluted that most visitors to Egypt prefer to avoid it. This same city also speaks to us of history and humanity – Moses and Jesus, Arab poets and Napoleon’s scholars who were here beside the Nile. It speaks of brilliance, beauty and power, of Europeans looking on in amazement at a Cairo that was the trading partner of Venice and of such importance that the Arabian Nights narrator called it the Mother of the World. More recently, through writers such as Nobel prizewinner Naguib Mahfouz and Alaa Al-Aswany, it has spoken of humour amid hardships, of both compassion and corruption. Having seen Cairo shift and grow over the past twenty-five years, former resident Anthony Sattin examined the streets, the stories and the history of Cairo in an attempt to reconcile the myths with the facts.

Whatever happened to the Egyptian revolution? Those heady days of people power in Tahrir square now seem like a collective delusion. A military strong man is back in power, President Mubarak has been handed a get out of jail for free card and dissent is being repressed with an iron fist. Hardtalk speaks to Alaa al-Aswany, the bestselling Egyptian novelist, political commentator and sometime dentist. Is Egypt's story a harsh lesson in the dangers of wishful thinking?(Photo: Egyptian novelist Alaa al-Aswany poses in Paris, 2014 . Credit: Joel Saget/AFP/Getty Images)

Anne McElvoy's joined by Egyptian novelist Alaa Al Aswany, author of The Yacoubian Building, to discuss writing in the contemporary Arabic world and the continuing influence of stories from 1000 years ago. Joining him are Rose Issa, a Lebanese/Iranian curator of Arabic art and film and two British experts on The Arabian Nights: Robert Irwin, who introduces a new, English translation of a medieval fantasy collection and Marina Warner, whose interests stretch from Scheherazade to a new collection of Scottish fantasies. Producer: Simon Tillotson.

Harriett Gilbert talks to acclaimed Egyptian writer Alaa Al-Aswany about his bestselling novel The Yacoubian Building. It was the Arab world’s number-one bestseller for five years running after it was published in 2002. The Yacoubian Building interweaves the stories of a group of diverse characters who live and work in downtown Cairo. A moving study of politics and power, sex and revenge - centred on the apartment building - the Yacoubian building, which still stands in Cairo today. The novel offers a compelling yet daringly scathing portrayal of modern Egypt since the Revolution of 1952.

Karine Mannerfelt har rest till Kairo för att träffa arabvärldens just nu mest berömda författare, Alaa al Aswany, vars roman Yacobians hus sålt i en halv miljon exemplar bara i Frankrike. Al Aswany tar emot vid ett marmorbord inne i sin tandläkarmottagning. Det är där han skriver sina romaner. Två eftermiddagar i veckan behandlar han patienter i mottagningen.-Litteratur och medicin är två sidor av samma sak. Jag kan inte leva av bara den ena, säger han.Samtalet i tandläkarmottagningen kretsar kring litteratur kontra verklighet, och al Aswany blir upprörd när det visar sig att Bibliotekets utsände har använt hans bok som en sorts turistguide till det nutida Egypten.Medverkar gör också författaren Bahaa Taher.

Egyptian writer Alaa al Aswany was born in 1957 and studied dentistry in Egypt and Chicago. In addition to fiction, he writes on literature, politics, and social issues. His second novel, The Yacoubian Building, an ironic take on modern Egyptian society, was a significant best seller in and outside of the Arabic world. Chicago, a novel set in the city of that name was published in January 2007. The English translation is due out in bookstores this Fall. We met at the Blue Metropolis International Literary Festival in Montreal, and talk here about the contamination of literature by politics, compartmentalizing the two, achieving artistic value, Martin Amis and Islamism, the fallacy of Mark Steyn's fear mongering, the novel as life on paper but more profound, significant, beautiful than the ‘real' thing, the writer's need to listen to the sound of the heart, the difference between writing and fabricating, and why his novels have enjoyed such world-wide success.
