Описание:
Part history, part memoir, a moving portrait of Sudan-once the largest, most diverse country in Africa-and its self-destruction.
"A most absorbing and rewarding book." -Michael Palin
"An affecting and heartfelt reminder for those of us who have passed time in Khartoum . . . I have been waiting more than fifty years for this book." -Jim Crace
In 1956, Sudan gained independence from Britain and stood on the brink of a promising future. Instead, it descended into civil war and imploded. The continuing conflict in the western region of Darfur has driven millions from their homes and killed thousands more. Jamal Mahjoub was among those who fled following the coup of 1989. Twenty years later, he returned.
Hoping to pull together the fragments of his British and Sudanese identity into a cohesive whole, he explores his own memories of Khartoum, which leads him into an examination of Sudan's rich past and present. Writing with the lyricism and observation of a novelist, Mahjoub brings colonialism, religion, politics, and memoir together to create a layered and revelatory portrait of a complex country, with his own story at the heart of A Line in the River.
This book is about the Last Days and the Second Coming of Christ. In chronicling how God prepared him from childhood to discover Reverend Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church in the most phenomenal way, author Ali B. M. Mahjoub illustrates the power of dreams and spirituality in relation to the messianic times we are living in today.
Mahjoub's story begins in a Bedouin Muslim family in the desert of Tunisia in North Africa. By the grace of God, he is taken out of farming and hard labor, traveling to more than twenty countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. He works and lives with people of different races, cultures, and religions for more than two decades. Eventually he comes to the United States, where apparent misfortune leads him to his destiny with the Unification movement.
Saturated with precognitive dreams, strange coincidences, and supernatural experiences, Ali's journey can be applied as a guide to reexamining your own life course to discover your true calling.
Jerusalem Appointment with Destiny presents compelling arguments for the Last Days prophecy drawing near. Tying biblical scripture to keen observations about modern times, Ali connects the dots, announcing to the world that the Messiah is here
