The Seven Veils of Seth: a Modern Arabic Novel from Libya - Arab Writers in Translation
Ibrahim Al-koni
In the ancient Egyptian religion, Seth is the evil god who out of jealousy slays his brother Osiris, the good god of agriculture, to seize the throne. Seth is, however, also the god of the desert and therefore a benevolent champion of desert dwellers. This book draws on the tension between these two opposing visions of Seth.
