The Republic of False Truths by Alaa Al Aswany
4.0
The Republic of False Truth- Alaa Al-Aswany.
Tahrir Square, 2011.
When too much became a new tolerance, and the frog finally decided it's too much before realizing it's too weak to jump out from boiling water. For Hosni Mubarak government, 29 years is the boiling point.
The story opens with General Ahmad AlThe Republic of False Truth- Alaa Al-Aswany.
Tahrir Square, 2011.
When too much became a new tolerance, and the frog finally decided it's too much before realizing it's too weak to jump out from boiling water. For Hosniwany who seems like a good, demure, religious man for the first page, and got my favor got overturned in few lines. He's a good officer for Mobarak government ; a pious, but heartless one, hence the torture and other morally grey actions are just like breathing to him. He has a politically versed daughter, Danya, and she started to see wrong things done by her dad and the government.
Soon other characters starts to come in play; Mazen, Asmaa, Essam Shaalan (which I almost believed to be Mohamad Mosri Eissa), with some of them yield the same objective for different reason.
Alaa Al Aswany superpower is crazy; everything was in line with historical evengs. Also the women torture details. Holy shit the pictures were terrifying. At first I was a little skeptical, afraid of misrepresentation of muslim buf the author did well.
