Lejos de Medina, de Assia Djebar, es una obra que recrea el pasado remoto y casi legendario en el que se formó el islam en un rincón de la península arábiga. La novela entrelaza episodios, relatos y visiones protagonizados por distintas mujeres que aparecen en las primeras crónicas musulmanas. Djebar rescata del olvido la presencia y la consideración que tuvo la mujer en los orígenes del islam, antes de que la progresiva conquista del poder temporal demonizara la condición femenina, apartándose de su luz original. Publicado por Alianza Editorial, este libro forma parte de la colección Alianza Cuatro.
Fatima-Zohra Imalayen, known by her pen name Assia Djebar, was an Algerian novelist, translator and filmmaker. Most of her works deal with obstacles faced by women, and she is noted for her feminist stance. She is "frequently associated with women's writing movements, her novels are clearly focused on the creation of a genealogy of Algerian women, and her political stance is virulently anti-patriarchal as much as it is anti-colonial." Djebar is considered to be one of North Africa's pre-eminent and most influential writers. She was elected to the Académie Française on 16 June 2005, the first writer from the Maghreb to achieve such recognition. For the entire body of her work she was awarded the 1996 Neustadt International Prize for Literature. She was often named as a contender for the Nobel Prize for Literature.
