Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Cairo's Nobel-winning novelist lived through not only a century (1911-2006) but all Egypt's modern history. Part of Haus's stylish and dependable "Life & Times" series, this compact illustrated survey brings his sprawling, many-sided oeuvre into clear focus. Mahfouz ran enduring risks with his Dickensian social chronicles; the Islamist who nearly killed him in 1994 cited a "blasphemous" novel 35 years old. El-Elany delivers a handy and expert guide to a heroic life's work.
