In the 1990s, when the press was virtually the fourth estate, and the conflict within it revealed the entangled circles of politics, power, and influence, and where the threads of their web caught everyone, this young journalist, from the countryside, university, and innocence, came as a stranger in a milieu that dug its claws into his heart and witnessed battles in which only pain won. He discovered the truth about the apparition of the Virgin in one of Cairo's neighborhoods. This was the truth he wished he'd never known.

"Mary's Last Transfiguration" is a thrilling novel by the great writer Ibrahim Eissa, set amidst the bustling offices of the press and the murky corridors of politics, where innocence is nowhere to be found, where no city welcomes the innocent, where reality blends with falsehood, faith with doubt, and truth with lies.

A novel about a time when everything was explosive.
