Product Description
Dr Ragab is a mysterious man. Talked about by pretty much everyone in 1920s Cairo, only a few get the chance to make the doctor’s acquaintance, and fewer still—one person, in fact—get to study his life lessons first-hand. Hertwig is that lucky soul. Or not so lucky, perhaps: not when he finds himself imprisoned in a German bunker just after the Second World War. To make matters worse, it’s not just any old bunker; it’s Hertwig’s own bunker, and 100% escape-proof. And yet . . . there is a possible way out. Not in the conventional sense, maybe, but convention isn’t always a good thing, as Dr Ragab would be the first to note—and it’s his Universal Language that may just provide Hertwig with the escape route he needs.
As unconventional as the eponymous Ragab, Robert Twigger’s novel takes the reader on a surreal journey that starts in modern-day England but spans continents and decades; part tall tale, part mystery and, in every sense, completely fabulous, Dr Ragab’s Universal Language will open doors you never even knew existed. . . .
