class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><strong>We\u2019re taking a break this weekend from our usual format and taking a trip down <\/strong><strong>Nostalgia Lane to revisit the 1980s.<\/strong> Only a couple of us here (exactly two, in fact) actually lived through the \u201880s. We\u2019ve been reminded on several occasions in the last year that the decade has become cool in a retro way. One of our offspring asked if there was anything from the 1980s lurking in our closet that might be borrowed. Another of us had our resident nine-year-old opt to attend a school \u201csocial,\u201d the theme of which was the \u201880s. Nine-year-olds channeling their inner Madonna. And you wonder why we sometimes come across as if we need therapy?<\/p>\n<p><strong>We have a look back at the video games and fawazeer, the car (singular) we lusted over and the rise of hip-hop<\/strong> \u2014 plus why the \u201880s are suddenly cool again on television, Aly Shalakany\u2019s column on Michael Milken and lots more. There\u2019s something for everyone in this weekend\u2019s edition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Set the scene by visiting <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/shows\/the-eighties\"><strong>CNN\u2019s The Eighties<\/strong><\/a>, snippets of which are scattered across the landing page for the Tom Hanks-produced series.

For many, this meant that their way of life was obsolete and the jobs and job security they had enjoyed for the past few decades were a thing of the past. For some, this was the opportunity of a lifetime to go from rags to riches, providing you had the right stomach for it.<\/p>\n<p>On Wall Street, banking was transformed from a boring, low-risk, steady as you go type of business into an innovative, ultra-aggressive, winner takes all culture that could make you a multi-millionaire or out of a job before you turned 30. In this new age, nobody was safe, and the decade quickly witnessed its first high profile victim in Salomon Brothers, a top investment bank and cornerstone of Wall Street since 1910, as a result of aggressive risk taking that is best captured by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/d\/Books\/Liars-Poker-Hodder-Great-Reads-Michael-Lewis\/0340839961\">Michael Lewis\u2019 Liar\u2019s Poker<\/a>.

A jack of all trades, Silverstein was a poet, singer, songwriter, cartoonist, and an author of children\u2019s books to boot. His poetry collections \u201ccaptured the innocence of a child\u2019s imagination \u2026 without talking down to kids or being trite and sentimental,\u201d as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bustle.com\/articles\/40773-11-of-shel-silversteins-most-weird-and-wonderful-poems\">one Silverstein fan puts it<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/work\/quotes\/142009-a-light-in-the-attic\">A Light in the Attic<\/a> was released in 1981, but the book of poems \u2014 much like Silverstein\u2019s other works, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shelsilverstein.com\/books\/book-title-giving-tree\/\">The Giving Tree<\/a> (1964) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Where-Sidewalk-Ends-Poems-Drawings\/dp\/0060256672\">Where The Sidewalk Ends<\/a> (1974) \u2014 is timeless.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026Much like basically everything children\u2019s book wizard Roald Dahl has ever written. <strong>Dahl <\/strong><strong>dominated the decade with the release of three of his most famous children\u2019s books<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roalddahl.com\/roald-dahl\/characters\/magical-folk\/the-big-friendly-giant\">The BFG<\/a> (1982), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Witches-Roald-Dahl\/dp\/1101996994\">The Witches<\/a> (1983), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Matilda-Roald-Dahl\/dp\/0142410373\">Matilda<\/a> (1988), all of which featured the appropriately childlike illustrations of Quentin Blake.<\/p>\n<p>The 80s also saw <strong>landmark works from Latin American authors<\/strong>, including Gabriel Garc\u00eda Marquez\u2019s timeless <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Love-Time-Cholera-Oprahs-Book\/dp\/0307389731\">Love in the Time of Cholera<\/a>, and Isabel Allende\u2019s debut novel, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/House-Spirits-Novel-Isabel-Allende\/dp\/1501117017\">The House of the Spirits<\/a>. Both Garc\u00eda Marquez and Allende were heavily influenced by the political upheaval in their native countries of Colombia and Chile, respectively. \u201c<strong>Garc\u00eda Marquez and a plethora of other gifted Latin writers exposed the savagery and wretchedness of rural poverty<\/strong> in their novels. We also learned to recognise the murderous brutality of military strongmen and the futility of civil war through his words,\u201d the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-latin-america-27100627\">BBC<\/a>\u2019s Wyre Davies wrote of the Colombian literary genius after his passing in 2014.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Another timeless piece from the 1980s is Franco-Czech author Milan Kundera\u2019s <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/9717.The_Unbearable_Lightness_of_Being\"><strong>The <\/strong><strong>Unbearable Lightness of Being<\/strong><\/a><strong>. <\/strong>When he wrote this novel in 1984, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/books\/reviews\/book-of-a-lifetime-the-unbearable-lightness-of-being-by-milan-kundera-1501286.html\">exiled Czech intellect<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kundera.de\/english\/Biography\/biography.html\">former communist<\/a> party member was living in Paris, after having been stripped of his original nationality and naturalized as a citizen of France, where he still lives today. Set against a<strong> backdrop of war in 1968 Prague<\/strong> \u2014 around the time of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia and the country\u2019s descent into communism, the book explores the <strong>web of complex relationships<\/strong> between Tomas the surgeon and his lover Sabina, whose \u201clightness\u201d about all things life-related and unapologetic affair proves \u201cunbearable\u201d for Tomas\u2019 wife Tereza the photographer and Sabina\u2019s lover Franz the professor. <strong>Ever the philosopher, <\/strong>Kundera uses the stories of those characters to explore concepts such as Friedrich <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2004\/may\/01\/fiction.johnbanville\">Nietzsche's eternal recurrence<\/a> and themes like infidelity, attachment, belonging, purpose, and hedonism. <strong>For lovers of Russian literature, <\/strong>the influence of Leo Tolstoy on the novel is hard to miss and Kundera\u2019s experiments with tone and perspective also break from the classical mould to channel something closer to the prose style of Vladimir Nabokov, but at a much slower, less-confrontational, and almost dream-like pace. <strong>If you\u2019re more a movie buff than a bookworm,<\/strong> check out the 1988 film adaptation starring Daniel Day Lewis, Juliette Binoche, and Lena Olin (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mwfc7FJUoZc\">watch the trailer<\/a>, runtime 1:05).<\/p>\n<p><strong>An equally powerful master of dreamy prose is Japanese wordsmith Haruki Murakami, <\/strong>who wrote one of his greatest and most widely recognized novels, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/11297.Norwegian_Wood?from_search=true\"><strong>Norwegian Wood, <\/strong><\/a>in 1987.

While he remains faithful to Naoko after she leaves to live in a mental institute, Toru \u2014 a quiet and solitary character by nature \u2014 finds himself falling for another woman, whose fierce and outgoing nature stands in sharp contrast to Naoko\u2019s own. Toru is then torn between the innocence and relentlessness of young love and the harshness of the reality that forces one to grow up and move on. <strong>A lover of music and subtle melancholy, <\/strong>\u201cMurakami\u2019s characters are always given the seed of rebirth, although it is often unclear whether they plant it or not,\u201d Damie G Walter writes for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2011\/dec\/06\/winter-reads-norwegian-wood-haruki-murakami\">The Guardian<\/a>.

The book, which <strong>draws a lot from the author\u2019s own life experiences <\/strong>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2005\/dec\/05\/fiction.features11\">contentious relationship with her mother<\/a>, also pays tribute to the importance of storytelling in keeping heritage and tradition alive through generations, for the stories remain even if nothing else does. \u201cThe author leavens this angst with Marx Brothers humor, making you laugh, literally, even as you cry,\u201d a 1989 review of the book from the Los Angeles Times said. <strong>This one is definitely high up on our list of recommendations for a light, yet profound, read. <\/strong><\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/books-of-the-80s\/\">Books of the \u201880s<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"649598\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"649598\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">10<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">ON YOUR WAY OUT<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/03\/03\/live-from-1980s-khan-el-khalili\/\">\r\n                            Live from 1980s Khan El Khalili                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/03\/03\/live-from-1980s-khan-el-khalili\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
