ملحمة السراسوة: الخروج

In the last years of Mamluk rule, the Sarsawi family kills a brutal Mamluk and has to abandon its ancestral village, heading off almost blindly into the unknown. Fear, love and parting mark the road, and its members are scattered one after another along the way. This first volume of a five-part saga opens a family story that the author calls a song to Egypt at the dawn of its modern age, and to the birth of its middle class.
