This book will introduce the reader to the works of two modern Egyptian writers belonging to the generation of the sixties of the 20th century, the so-called “new wave” generation in Egyptian literature: the novel “Love in Exile” by Bah Tahir and the story “The Committee” by Sanallah Ibrahim. If the authors are among the most famous prose writers currently in Egypt, then the translators are well-known Russian Arabists with extensive experience in translating Arabic literature.
