Ein kleines Hotel am Strand von Fehmarn, eine chaotisch-liebenswerte Familie und jede Menge Heiratsanträge - ein sommerlich-humorvoller Roman mit bezauberndem Schauplatz "Emily, glaub mir. Ich bilde mir das nicht ein: Das Hotel steckt in großen Schwierigkeiten." Der unerwartete Hilferuf ihrer Mutter und die Bitte, rasch nach Hause zu kommen, bringen Emily völlig aus dem Konzept. Zwar hat sie Fehmarn vor Jahren den Rücken gekehrt, das kleine Familienhotel am Strand liegt ihr aber noch immer am Herzen. So aufgeregt ist Emily, dass ihr erst viel später auffällt, dass ihr Freund ihr gerade einen Antrag machen wollte. Nicht das beste Vorzeichen für ihren Plan, die "Strandperle" in ein Romantikhotel umzuwandeln und Verliebten bei der Organisation des perfekten Heiratsantrags zu helfen ... Product details Format ...
Under the Israeli occupation of the '70s and '80s, writers in Gaza had to go to considerable lengths to ever have a chance of seeing their work in print. Manuscripts were written out longhand, invariably under pseudonyms, and smuggled out of the Strip to Jerusalem, Cairo or Beirut, where they then had to be typed up. Consequently, fiction grew shorter, novels became novellas, and short stories flourished as the city's form of choice. Indeed, to Palestinians elsewhere, Gaza became known as 'the exporter of oranges and short stories'. This anthology brings together some of the pioneers of the Gazan short story from that era, as well as younger exponents of the form, with ten stories that offer glimpses of life in the Strip that go beyond the global media headlines; stories of anxiety, oppression, and violence, but also of resilience and hope, of what it means to be a Palestinian, and how that identity is continually being reforged; stories of ordinary characters struggling to live with dignity in what many have called 'the largest prison in the world'.
