Фереджето на мълчанието - Първа част

by Djura, Мила Емилова (Translator)

Разказът на една жена, дръзнала да се опълчи срещу ислямските традиции, да се образова и да заживее със своя любим-друговерец. Книга - обвинение срещу безправието на жената в мюсюлманския свят.
***
Преди години в едно изоставено от Бога алжирско селце се появява на бял свят момиче. Разочарована, че не е родила момче, майката отказва да го кърми и да се грижи за него. Тогава става чудо. Втората баба на детето, бездетна и мечтала цял живот за деца, усеща как гърдите й се наливат с мляко и откърмя малкото момиченце. Всички предричат на детето необикновени дарби и съдба. И предсказанието се сбъдва. Малкото селянче попада във Франция. Отворено за света, то поглъща новата култура и след години на труд и борба срещу най-близките си и техните разбирания успява да се изучи и изгради като ярка личност.
Джура - красива, интелигентна, даровита. Джура - артистката, певицата, кинематографистката. Такава я познава днес цяла Франция. Но и досега тази жена, покорила милиони зрители със своята екзотична красота и талант, е принудена да се крие от отмъщението на роднините си.

[1,5/5]. Erg magere vertelling (en magere vertaling) van een interessant leven, en van een op zich belangrijke boodschap.

Het boek heeft een hoog 'en toen-en toen-en toen-gehalte'. De drang om alles correct op te schrijven van hoe iets precies gebeurde heeft meer ruimte gekregen dan waarom bepaalde dingen belangrijk waren. Dat levert een verwarrend relaas op van bijvoorbeeld wie bij wie in de auto stapte en waarheen reed en waarom, wat voor de kern van het verhaal helemaal niet belangrijk is. Zaken die veel interessanter zouden zijn, zoals hoe het met vriendin Martine is vergaan die in Algerije achterbleef, komen daarentegen helemaal niet meer terug.

Het lukte me (door de schrijfstijl?) niet om sympathie voor de hoofdpersoon op te brengen.

Sie beschreibt Sachen und Situationen die entsetzlich sind, ohne dass ich dabei das Gefühl habe, sie will bemitleidet werden.
Traurig wenn man bedenkt, viele Frauen geht es immer noch so 😞

Ein richtig guter Bericht über dies Repressalien, die muslimische Frauen ausgesetzt sind, wenn sie sich von der patriarchalen Struktur lösen möchten.

Es ist kein Buch, was sich gegen Islam wehrt, sondern nur gegen dieser Abart wie vielen den Islam auslegen.
Jeder - ob Muslima oder Christ - sollte dieses Buch unbedingt lesen. Und sich danach dafür einsetzen, dass auch muslimischen Frauen endlich als Mensch wahrgenommen werden und ein Selbstbestimmungsrecht erhalten.

Wie sie dies dann annehmen und ausüben ist Privatsache, wie auch, ob sie den Schleier tragen möchten oder nicht. Denn auch das ist Freiheit: von anderen Kulturen so akzeptiert zu werde, wie ich persönlich leben möchte.

"Le Voile du silence


A really good report on the repression, the Muslim women face, when they want to break away from the patriarchal structure.

It is not a book which opresses against Islam, but only against this kind of interpret
Everyone - whether Muslim or Christian - should read this book. And after that work to ensure that Muslim women are finally being perceived as a person and obtain a right to self determination.

How this liberation is accepted and carried on is a private matter, as well as whether those women want to wear the veil or not. After all, this is freedom: accepted by other cultures the way I want to live personally.

I still can't get the hang of these kind of books. I suppose the differences in upbringing / background and circumstances are just too big. Why not (en masse) protest. But that is my western eye. I can't imagine how it would be like to live in circumstances like that. (At least not the whole way).

About the book. I gave it 2 stars, because i found it disappointing. In the beginning th author already tells what the whole book is leading to. The big bang or something like that. And then she starts anew at the beginning of her life, following here years more or less chronologically, leading the reader to again that very bad event. I'm sorry she coose this building of the book, in my humble opinion it would have been better to tell her life from start to the end of the book.
This was like those detectives you see or read where the puzzle is already solved for the reader / viewer, but the detective has no clue (yet). For me this spoilt a lot of the reading pleasure this book could have brought.

Touching story but it’s unfortunate is once again the stereotype of the submissive Muslim woman… It’s as if Europe has solved every problem and white people’s tradition is exempt from all of that.
Boring.
