Cinema Eden by Juan Goytisolo
No European writer knows the Islamic shores of the Mediterranean as intimately as Juan Goytisolo, who has lived and worked amongst Muslims for 30 years. In this series of essays Goytisolo celebrates a world where ritual matters and tradition is alive, where saints live, story-tellers weave their enchantments nightly and where honour and dignity preserve the importance of the individual. Like a window onto a parallel universe, Cinema Eden is a fascinating journey in itself, and a thought-provoking reflection on our own society.Juan Goytisolo (1931-2017) was a political and cultural exile throughout his life. His early writings, notably Marks of Identity, were prohibited in Spain because he was a fierce opponent of the Franco regime. He spent most of his time after leaving Spain in France and Morocco. The Young Assassins, Count Julian, Juan the Landless, Makbara, The Marx Family Saga, and Quarantine are only a few of his novels that have been translated into English.
