This is a sweeping, epic tale of a fascinating character told through the eyes of a great grandson who clearly admires his subject. There's a lot to be learned from this novel about the history of the Mideast and parts of Africa that the protagonist, an erudite Lebanese Christian who goes to work for the British Army, travels through on a series of often amusing exploits. The reach and influence of European Colonialism is laid out for the reader in a way that is not preachy or even overtly judgmental. However, I found myself at times wishing the book was a little less sweeping, covering less ground figuratively and literally and instead delving more deeply into some of the episodes. It is well-written, quick paced most of the time and entertaining.
What a great story and even a better story teller. It shows how human we all are and that dreams and action make a life. I really enjoyed this book and hope that I can find other books by Mr. Majdalani.
I found the book charming at first, and the history of Lebanese and Syrians in Egypt was fascinating, but the ending was unsatisfying.
Rather unbelievable plot. Too much time developing too many characters that I had difficulty tracking.
(This book arrived in the mail with high marks from my younger brother in Chicago. He'd gotten it from my grandmother in Seattle--a voracious reader of all things excellent).Maidalani's Moving the Palace is one of the books that leaves you melancholy and blue because...it's over. It's over and your relationship with the protagonist is severed--forever buried forever in the pages of the novel.In Moving the Palace's case, we learn the story of Samuel (through the recollection of his grandson)--an erudite Christian adventurer who leaves his homeland of Lebanon amidst the country's wave of great migration during the onset of the 20th century. Whereas many of his countrymen left for Europe, the Middle East and the United States, Samuel ventures down to the Sudan. During a stay in Tripoli, he encounters a small Arabian palace by the city citadel. Upon closer inspection, a plan hatches in Samuel's mind, a plan of what origin his grandson laments: "I do not know--nor will anyone, ever--what planted the seed of that incredible idea in his mind."This plan, and its numerous iterations and evolutions, are the focus of the story. We follow Samuel as he disassembles the palace and loads it onto a caravan, descending into Africa with a dream to sell it off to a rich prince. Like any great tale, nothing goes as planned and Samuel's plan quickly unravels against the backdrop of the World War I.Best of all, this story brought to mind a slew of other similarly striking novels which I've included before for your reading pleasure.KEY QUOTES: "But he is the kind of man to shoulder other people's whims, to make them his own, and here he is letting himself be swept along on Shafik's oddball odyssey.""It must be remembered that Cairo at that time, though far from Europe, is the first city to rival Paris and Vienna for its soirees, the richness of its salons, and above all the power of its economic and financial elite.""The inner circle belongs to dynasties that emigrated before the middle of the nineteenth century and built their fortunes in the first era of Egypt's modernization--like the Sakakini, Egypt's first manufacturers..., or the Soussas, builders of the Suez Canal and customs leaseholders at the port of Suez."The last paragraph contains some of the more beautiful sentences that I've ever read. But I will leave that for you to discover.KEY REFERENCES:I put Moving the Palace in the same category as the two phenomenal stories below. This trio could be read in succession as kind of a 20th century adventurers look at Africa.The Zanzibar Chest by Aiden HartleyWest With the Night by Beryl MarkhamFor different reasons, Moving the Palace brought to mind Mahfouz' masterpiece The Cairo Trilogy. Both stories draw the readers in and entangle them into the lives of the story's characters. On Perception vs. Reality:p. 59 Samuel leverages people's perception of him as they imagine a great authority than he actually possesses (i.e., "implementer of English policy"). There's also the idea of the value of items like gold as burdensome to the local chieftains who must worry about guarding it and transporting (versus something with more utility like camels, mules or slaves).A description Samuel's nature:p. 63 "But he is the kind of man to shoulder other people's whims, to make them his own, and here he is letting himself be swept along on Shafik's oddball odyssey."Terms:p. 90 zajals--form of Lebanese folk poetry, normally oral. "A zajal is written in two columns, which can be read separately per column and then across—the result is three poems in one, with bountiful repetition."Zajal rabbit hole:When Competitive Poetry Was Better Than SoccerA Boy Remembers ZajalOn Adapting Zajal Poetry for Modern TimesA Modern English Zajal PoemUNESCO on Zajalp. 91 villeggiatura--a holiday in the countryside. In this case, Samuel thinks of this term as he enters the Shepheard's Hotel in Cairo.Memory:p. 90 The idea of preserving memories in couplets as Selim Atiyah does after a memorable evening.For further research:p. 05 author describes the 1880-1930 Lebanese emigration abroad. Syro-Lebanese Migration (1880-Present): “Push†and “Pull†Factors. In the story's case, the main character Samuel heads for the Sudanp. 93 Nassib Ayyad (a fictional character it seems) is mentioned as a writer on the Arab poetry revival that occurred in concert wit the Arab cultural renaissance in the early 20th century. This rebirth is properly referred to as Al-Nahda (awakening). There's plenty on wikipedia for this but I hate to refer to that, so here are some links on the awakening:A Question of Arab UnityContemporary Arab Thought: Cultural Critique in Comparative Perspectivep. 95 Cairo rivaling Paris in the early 20th centuryDissertation on Early 20th-century Cairo Coffeehouses Leads Penn Ph.D. Student to Egyptian and British Spy Reports1882-Present Cairop. 95 Sakakini and Soussa dynasties: inner social circle in the early 20th century. These families emigrated to Egypt before the 1850s and built their wealth through Egypt's initial wave of modernization. Sakakinis were manufacturers and the Soussas were the Suez Canal builders.Touring the Sakakini Palace
A delightful fable. A brilliant story teller.
