About this product

Product Information

In his masterpiece, The Cat Who Taught Me How to Fly, Hashem Gharaibeh tells the moving story of a political prisoner during Jordan's martial law era, which spanned from 1967 to 1989. Gharaibeh defies the taboos of politics, sex, and religion to tell a thrilling and brutally honest story about the horrors and insanities of everyday life in an Arab prison. At once both a novel and an autobiography, the author draws from his own experiences as a Jordanian youth arrested and imprisoned for nearly a decade for his affiliation with the Jordanian Communist Party. The novel uniquely portrays prison culture intertwined with tribal, ideological, and political perspectives to explain both mundane and esoteric aspects of prison life in this time and era, illustrating an experience that is traumatic, humane, and inspiring. A heartwrenching story of learning, survival, and the quest for the freedom of thought is told with powerful defiance and grace, exposing us to human frailty, strength, and one man's dream to soar beyond the walls of prison, society, and self.

    Excellent Quality. Brand New. Looks AMAZING! Seller's price UNBEATABLE. I'd buy from this Seller again. Description spot on. Seller's communication XL+, very helpful & pleasant. Packaging XL+. I was afraid to open package. It's like opening a Xmas present w/o the Gift wrap. Post cost definitely XL+ being FREE. Excellent delivery time. Arrived earlier than predicted, considering our mail usually takes over 2wk 1199km from Brisbane, bcoz we're remote. 10Q very much. XL+

    CD was brand new and sealed as described, superb value.When it did not arrive by the estimate I contacted the seller and they got back to me that day, explaining about the backlog at the post office( Christmas and new year) and requesting me to wait a couple of days so I did and it was delivered in that time. Excellent customer service, very happy, having purchased here before . Packaging was fine, no damage to items enclosed. 🙂🙂

    My item arrived but it wasn’t the colour advertised however, after contacting the seller they replied quickly, they were so apologetic and offered a partial refund which I gladly accepted. We all make mistakes but it’s how it’s dealt with that counts and this seller was great. The record was still new, the packaging was good quality so it arrived without any damage and the record is in perfect condition. The price was fair too. I’m still happy overall and I would buy from this seller again.
