PRINCESS: MORE TEARS TO CRY
Book ID/图书代码: 08012514B71138
English Summary/英文概要: When Jean Sasson’s book Princess: Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia was published, it became an immediate international bestseller. It sold to 43 countries and spent 13 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list. Now, in this long-awaited, compelling new book, Sasson and the Princess ’Sultana’ return to tell the world what it means to be a Saudi woman today.
Through advances in education and with access to work, Saudi women are breaking through the barriers; they are becoming doctors, social workers, business owners and are even managing to push at the boundaries of public life. Major steps forward have, undoubtedly, been made.
But this is not the whole story. Sadly, despite changes in the law, all too often legal loopholes leave women exposed to terrible suppression, abuse and crimes of psychological and physical violence.
For many, the struggle for basic human rights continues.
This fascinating insight will include personal stories of triumph and heartbreak, as told to Princess ’Sultana’, her eldest daughter, and author Jean Sasson. Each of these stories will offer the reader a glimpse into different aspects of Saudi society, including the lives of the Princess, her daughter and other members of the Al-Saud Royal family.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 简•沙森的《沙特公主:沙特阿拉伯面纱背后的真实生活故事》一经问世便即刻获得了巨大的成功,成为了一本国际畅销书作品。该书在全球43个国家出售,并在纽约时报畅销书排行榜登榜长达13周。如今,在这部期待已久精彩全新力作中,沙森和桑塔娜公主将再次为我们讲述当今沙特妇女们的世界。
通过接受更多的教育和获得工作的机会,沙特妇女们正在打破曾经的障碍;她们逐渐成为医生、社会工作者、商业人士,甚至努力地推动着社会公共生活。毋庸置疑,她们已经向前迈出了重要的一步。
然而这一切都并非故事的全部。令人悲哀的事,尽管法律已经发生了变化,然而法律的漏洞却也常常使得女性仍旧处于可怕的压迫、虐待,以及各种心理和生理暴力犯罪的威胁之下。
对于许多人而言,他们仍在为作为一个人的基本权利而奋力斗争着。
这部精彩而深刻的书中将涵盖许多成功与心碎的个人故事,正如向桑塔娜公主---作为长女的作者简•沙森所述一般。书中的每一个故事都可以让读者们看到沙特社会中的一面,其中包括公主本人、她的女儿以及其他皇室家族成员的生活状态。(DC)
