Barra and Zaman: Reading Egyptian Modernity in Shadi Abdel Salam’s The Mummy by Youssef Rakha
English | PDF | 2020 | 121 Pages | ISBN : 3030613534 | 2.9 MB

"An electrifying, cubist portrait of a classic film’s place in the world. Youssef Rakha says that Shadi Abdel Salam’s The Mummy embodies 'a twilight zone of Egyptian modernity.' By writing about patriotism, grief, visual beauty, political entropy, colonialism, and sexuality, he brilliantly takes us into that modernity, that zone. Few people write about cinema with such zigzagging bravura or impertinent seriousness; not often do we get such a three-dimensional context for a film. This book will be as valuable to creative writers as it is to devotees of cinema or Egypt."

Quando il sacerdote avvicina la fiamma al braccio di Kausi e Coral, il Segno si accende subito. E la loro vita è condannata: chi porta il Segno non può vivere con gli altri. I due ragazzi devono abbandonare il villaggio, valicare le Grandi Paludi, inoltrarsi in una terra di cui si parla solo nei miti e nelle leggende, e dalla quale nessuno ha mai fatto ritorno. Tutto il Regno è in ginocchio: da ovest una terribile epidemia di peste infuria e decima intere Regioni; il re è troppo debole e pavido per opporsi ai suoi avidi duchi e ai barbari che premono alle frontiere del nord; a sud intere popolazioni sono in marcia per sfuggire alla fame e alla guerra. E quando nella Tredicesima Regione l'erede del duca Courteneray finisce nelle mani di Rakha, ragazza dal fascino misterioso e con una strana luce negli occhi, gli eventi iniziano a vorticare sempre più velocemente, scatenando una tempesta capace di travolgere ogni cosa. Nobili corrotti schiacciano la miseria della plebe, l'ambizione e la sete di potere spingono oscuri personaggi a tramare nell'ombra.
