Maxamed Daahir Afrax ((ソマリ語:''Maxamed Daahir Afraax''), (アラビア語:محمد طاهر أفرح)) Ph. D. is a Somali novelist, playwright, journalist and scholar. ==Biography== Afrax was born and raised in Somalia. He belongs to the Majerteen sub-clan of the Darod Somali clan. A polyglot, he writes in Somali, Arabic and English. Afrax has published three novels in Somali, ''Guur-ku-sheeg'' (1975), ''Maana-faay'' (1979) and ''Galti-macruuf'' (1980), in addition to an historical novel in Arabic, ''Nida Al-Horiyah'' (1976). He has also published several short stories in both Arabic and Somali.〔Rex S. O'Fahey, ''Handbuch der Orientalistik: Der Nahe und Mittlere Osten'', BRILL, 2003, p. 121〕 Also a playwright, Afrax has written two plays, the first being ''Durbaan Been ah'' ("A Deceptive Dream"), which was staged in Somalia in 1979. His major contribution in the field of theatre criticism is ''Somali Drama: Historical and Critical Study'' (1987). In his novels and plays, Afrax denounces moral corruption and social injustice. When in 1980 his novel ''Gulti-macruuf'' ("Pseudo-civilized") began to appear in serialized form in ''Xiddigta Oktoobar'' (a leading national daily newspaper at the time), Somalia's government took offence. The publication of the story was subsequently discontinued at its 37th episode. Soon after that, in 1981, Afrax left Somalia and has been living abroad ever since. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maxamed Daahir Afrax」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
