Rosario receives a bullet while she is receiving a kiss, this is how Jorge Franco begins his novel, and in those moments that Rosario spends suspended between love and death, the narrator tells us the story of a strange and mysterious love that he lived on one side with her, recalling with remarkable movements the past of “Rosario,” or rather what he was able to know from her past. She was the one who grew up in the city of Medellin, where there were weapons, crime, and poverty, and she used scissors as a tool to carry out all her crimes until they became close to her name.
In quick and intense flashes, the writer draws the features of an unpredictable, mysterious character who kills his victims in cold blood while imprinting the kiss of death on their lips. When he does this, he does not reveal everything, but rather provokes the reader’s imagination, inviting him to participate in completing the picture.
ماجدولين هي التعريب الذي قدمه مصطفى لطفي المنفلوطي للرواية الرائعة تحت ظلال الزيزفون، والرواية تعالج الفكرة الأقدم والأعظم لدى الإنسان مذ عرف الأدب، فتدور حول حبِّ فتى وفتاةٍ لبعضهما حتى يكشف هذا الحبُّ ويفرق بينهما. والرواية إحدى الروايات التي تثير الشجن داخل القارئ أضاف إليها المنفلوطي من سحره العربي وجمال نثره فأضاء بها سماء الأدب لسنواتٍ وسنوات
Time and power...
An imaginative fantasy inspired by the imagination, and some may believe that it is a projection of reality, but it is not so, even though our reality does not differ in some parts from the novel.
The names and characters in the novel are borrowed, and do not mean a person, but they are similar in the distant and recent past, and the events of the novel take place in a time frame that exceeds 160 years, in which the hero of the novel is exposed to a lot of injustice from those who have power. In his youth and during his studies, an influential person took advantage of his kinship to implicate him. In a case, even if his status is restored under the law, this remains a formality, as they can harm you even after your death.
He was also subjected to injustice when the woman who made an unjust claim against him reached the governor and turned the scales of the claim in her favor, because everyone sought to please her because of her connection to the head of the pyramid of power.
As the world turns to new media and social media, injustice returns again to the protagonist because someone with power and influence does not like Falih’s proposal or does not like him, and perhaps to please someone higher than him because he knocked on a door or someone who concerns him.

طائرة تختفي عن شاشة الرادار، لتظهر بعدها لمدة دقيقة واحدة على بُعد آلاف الكيلومترات، قبل أن تختفي مجددًا.. رجل مجهول يظهر بغتة من العدم.. موتى يعودون للحياة دون إنذار.. نبوءة قديمة.. عبارة غامضة تتكرر بإلحاح غريب.. أمطار من الضفادع..وجثث
بَرَع «عباس محمود العقاد» في تناول شخصية الإمام «علي بن أبي طالب»، فقد جعل محور العرض هو مناحي النفس الإنسانية، إذ استخلص من سيرة الإمام ما يلتقي وخصائص هذه النفس الإنسانية عنده. ففي سيرته مُلتقى بالعواطف الجيَّاشة والأحاسيس المتطلعة إلى الرحمة والإكبار؛ لأنه الشهيد أبو الشهداء، ومُلتقى بالفكر؛ فهو صاحب آراء فريدة لم يسبقه إليها أحد في التصوف والشريعة والأخلاق، ومُلتقى مع كل رغبة في التجديد والإصلاح، فصار اسمه عَلمًا على الثورة. كما عَرض الكاتب لطهارة نشأته، ونقاء سريرته، وعلوِّ هِمته، وقوة إرادته، وغزارة علمه وثقافته، وروعة زهده وحكمته، وصدق إيمانه وشجاعته، وثباته على الحق ونصرته، وتضحيته في سبيله بروحه، فقدم عَرضًا وافيًا كافيًا يجمع بين دَفَّتَيْ هذا العمل سيرة رجل من أعظم من أنجبت المدرسة المُحمَّدية.
Adam rubs his old rust with the blade of a knife. He scratches the space with tremendous instinctive force. After a period of time has passed since the absence of a second person, the open space has become grayer, and different from what Adam imagined. Here he walks alone, but the old noise still haunts him. A mythical being lives under his skin, making him rub his hands and rub them. His eyelids, he wants to see the light hitting the body of the night with the blade of the knife, and the knife does not seem bold when faced with the thickness of the bohemian bellows that strikes it.
Adam declares, the wires extending from under the neck to the edge of the shoulder are swollen, his face appears congested with blood and the red color invades his place. Adam is now thinking about the crow that hovers around his head, crowing with a sound like the horn of an old freight vehicle. He had previously been told that seeing a crow in the belly of the sky is an omen. It was ominous, so his senses trembled and he turned to the notebooks of the past, and questions abounded in his head.
