Denys Johnson Davies Knihy

Obdobie sťahovania na sever je pozoruhodne kompaktný román, pričom do textu sú umne votkané alúzie na arabskú a francúzsku literatúru, Shakespeara, Freuda a klasickú arabskú poéziu. Sálihovi sa podarilo zhustiť do tohto majstrovského a výborne čitateľného diela celú knižnicu: Drámu, zločiny z vášne, sadomasochizmus, samovraždu. Román ideí odetý do romantického hávu.
