The mystical and historical imagination in Šawq ad-darwīš/The Longing of the Dervish by Sudanese writer Ḥammūr Ziyāda/ Hammour Ziyada

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The interweaving of historical events with narrative imagination is in the focus of many literary works. In the case of Hammour Ziyada&apos;s novel The Longing of the Dervish readers have the opportunity to follow events with historical consequences and mystical undertones, which enable the author to present history through human emotions and everyday attitudes, revealing the true nature of people. The plot of Hammour Ziyada&apos;s novel is based on historical events which took place in Sudan at the end of the 19th century. The historical context is very important, as the novel depicts a key period in the modern history of Sudan and Egypt, set in the wider context of colonial expansion in Africa. The author treats the story of Bakhit Mandeel/Baḫīt Mandīl, a former slave newly released from prison and seeking revenge for his imprisonment. His release coincides with the end of the Mahdist war - a British colonial war fought between Egypt and a section of Sudanese society seeking independence under their religious leader, Mahdi, and when Mahdi and his followers are defeated and force to flee. The novel&apos;s narrative is characterised by its symbolic representation of social a political conflicts between Christianity and Islam, and consequently between the North and the South, at the level of the relationships between individual literary characters and the political forces influencing the life of Sudanese society in the last few decades of the nineteenth century. The study explores the relationships between the characters, in which historical facts and mystical visions linked to the desire for revenge intertwine, as well as the emerging love relationship, which the author sees as a timeless element that transcends the boundaries of country and culture.
