TEHRAN -- The Persian translation of “Death Drinks It Bitter”, a novel on the 2011 Egyptian revolution, has been released by Afkar Publications in Iran.
The book was written by the Egyptian writer Wajdi al- Kumi, and translated into Persian by Karim Purzobeyd.
The book is about an Egyptian ambulance technician who tries to help injured demonstrators in Cairo during the 2011 revolution.
The 2011 Egyptian revolution took place following a popular uprising that began on January 25, 2011. The uprising was mainly a campaign of non-violent civil resistance.
Millions of protesters demanded the overthrow of the regime of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Despite being predominantly peaceful in nature, the revolution was not without violent clashes between security forces and protesters, with at least 846 people killed and 6,000 injured.
On February 11, following weeks of determined popular protest and pressure, Mubarak resigned from office.
