The Story of a Man from Karak

Beschreibung

In this post-Arab Spring novel, Ahmad Tarawneh addresses the root causes and circumstances that lead a desperate young Jordanian to be recruited into a terrorist organization by a skillful, self-serving sheikh, telling the story of conflicting loyalties between two brothers, one who serves in the Jordanian Armed Forces and the other who belongs to an extremist group. The novel depicts the positive and negative forces that influence the two brothers in their soul-searching quest of self-actualization that leads to more questions than answers-- questions many Arab youth continue to ask today.
