Diary of a Country Prosecutor

Beschreibung

Who shot Kamar al-Dawla Alwan? Was it a crime of passion? What was the role of the beautiful peasant girl Rim? Is the mysterious Sheikh Asfur as crazy as he seems? Partly autobiographical, this Egyptian comedy of errors takes the form of the journal of a young public prosecutor posted to a village in rural Egypt.
