      The year is 1970, a period of crisis in the Arab world. Twenty-year-old Hisham has enrolled at university in Riyadh to study politics and economics. But this city has more than academic qualifications to offer a man of Hisham's mettle, and he soon discovers a strange underworld of alcohol and prostitution where fear, pleasure and politics merge.

      In his tranquil middle-class neighbourhood, eighteen-year-old Hisham doesn't quite fit in. He's a philosopher who spends days reading banned books and developing political ideals. His Saudi Arabia is embroiled in conflict, torn between ancient tradition and newfound prosperity. This work offers a look at the roots of dissent in the Arab world. schovat popis
