Although “Princesses Street” covers the events of one or two years of Jabra’s Iraqi life, it places us at the heart of the literary and artistic event, introducing us to the atmosphere and personalities that had a significant impact on the creative process throughout the region. It also outlines a broad spectrum of influences that embraced this period and later yielded results.
\nThe artistic and literary circles that formed in the early 1950s, brimming with grand ideas and dreams, laid the foundation for subsequent movements and innovations on multiple levels and contributed to the creation of a new artistic taste.
\nThe literary and artistic spectrum that Jabra paints of this period is highly significant. Without these references to names, events, and achievements, the reader might not be able to comprehend subsequent developments. Therefore, Jabra’s testimony in this area is essential, especially since there are attempts to re-read the period according to whims and desires that differ from its actual nature.
\nJabra wasn’t chronicling or documenting this book, but the book’s extensive footnotes shed light on many of the prevailing events and climates. Beyond the events that characterize Princess Street, the boldness in expressing these issues, with great frankness, is another characteristic. This is something our literature has not yet encountered, except in a few examples. This makes it a model to be emulated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
