Tanagra

Dar El Tanweer has just launched a new study on torture by Basma Abdel Aziz, entitled "Zakirat Al-Qahr" (The Memory of Subjugation). 

A new Arabic graphic novel for adults by Dr. Ahmed Khaled Tawfik (drawings by Hanan El Karargui), "The Cricket Effect" - or " Ta2thir Al-Garada " in Arabic - tells the story of a man who has invented a time machine that can turn back time to before the Egyptian revolution. He offers his services to certain well-know prisoners who hope to change the outcome of history and be free. But when he starts turning back time, he runs into one difficulty: to what point should he bring back the clock? When he picks a point in recent history to go back to in order to outdo the outcome of time, he finds that it's not far enough, and that he has to go back even further in time. Further and further back he goes, until he reaches THE one crucial event that brought on the rest of events like a snowball rolling down the mountainside. Can you guess what that event might be?!
