Tawfiq al-Hakim

Alaa Al-Aswany

William Maynard Hutchins

First published in Arabic in 1933, <i>Return of the Spirit</i> follows a patriotic young Egyptian and his extended family as they grapple with the events leading up to the 1919 Egyptian revolution. This is a trail-blazing political novel that illustrates the way one man's spiritual awakening ties in with the political awakening of a nation.
