FROM THE PUBLISHER-FROM SLEEP UNBOUND portrays the life of Samya, an Egyptian woman who is taken at age 15 from her Catholic boarding school and forced into a loveless and humiliating marriage. Eventually sundered from every human attachment, Samya lapses into despair and despondence, and finally an emotionally caused paralysis. But when she shakes off the torpor of sleep, the sleep of avoidance, she awakens to action with the explosive energy of one who has been reborn. Professor Bettina Knapp, who provides the Foreword to this translation, describes Chedid as ‘one of France's outstanding creative spirits. Her way is profound and sensitive, her vision innovative in its archetypal delineations, . a product of two civilizations, two ways of life, two psyches. Chedid's literary works unity inner and outer aspects of Western and Middle-Eastern cultures'-(World Literature Today, Autumn 1977). inventory #14070.
