Charlatan. Guru. Master of disguise. Ahead of his time, wise beyond
his years, a simple opportunist or the great pretender; however you
choose to see him, one fact is certain: Dr Ragab is a mysterious
man. Talked about by pretty much everyone in 1920s Cairo, only a
few get the chance to make his acquaintance, and fewer still -- one
person, in fact -- get to study his life lessons. Hertwig is that
lucky soul. Or not so lucky, perhaps: not when he finds himself, at
the very end of the second world war, imprisoned in a bunker in
Germany by a gang of thugs. To make matters worse, it's not just
any bunker; it's the family bunker, built to be 100% escape-proof.
And yet . . . there is a possible way out. Not in the conventional
sense, it's true, but when you're holed up several feet
underground, unsure of how long your captors plan to keep you
alive, convention isn't necessarily a good thing, as Dr Ragab would
be the first to proclaim -- 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. Clever, funny and
thought-provoking, Dr Ragab's Universal Language is, in every
sense, beyond belief: part tall tale and part self-help manual, it
is, like Dr R himself, impossible to pin down -- or, indeed, to put
down.
