Libyan writer Ahmad Ibrahim al-Faqih in his trilogy 'Sa Ahibuka Madinatu Akhura,' 'Hadhihi Tukhum Mamlakati,' and 'Nafaq Tudiuhu Imra Wahida' describes his childhood in the village of Mizda in Tripoli, Libya. His story reveals his views about Libyan culture and politics under the monarchy from 1951-1969 and under the Republic/Jamahiriya after 1969. The trilogy illustrates through fiction the social and political uniqueness of western educated Libyan intellectuals after the colonial period.
