We are a generation without farewell, says the German writer Wolfgang Borchert, summarizing the tragedy of his generation that was led into World War II without anyone saying goodbye to it. Perhaps Borchert is the voice most capable of expressing this generation, and that war that left massive material and spiritual devastation in Germany. It also left literary ruin.
Borchert left behind a collection of short stories that his fellow Nobel Prize winner for Literature, Heinrich Böll, describes as “complete masterpieces,” while Egyptian writer Ibrahim Aslan sees in his stories “a sublime expression of the ferocity of all wars without a single direct word.”
In this book, we present to the reader a selection of these stories, and what attracted us to them is the human approach to major topics, such as war and death, love and the feeling of loss, and the artistic expression of them.
A collection of short stories that includes 6 diverse stories that reflect the philosophy of life, the myth of the desert, and the icon of existence, with the fragrant scent of Emirati nature and the local environment. Most of the events of the stories take place within the Emirati environment. During the short story collection “Fear on Their Necks,” Al Mansouri draws inspiration from innate ideas and shortened meanings.
The collection included the following titles: “One Last Look,” “A Smile in the Wind,” “The Self-Trial of the Brotherhood,” “Tal Zakher,” and “Fear.”
On their necks, and an incoming one on the Kassir.
There are no names for the women in this book. Rather, they are just bodies. It is through the body that society recognizes them, and through it they also identify themselves. This often alienated body is the same body that deserves to be celebrated and celebrated.
By masterfully combining, with innovative writing techniques, the real and the imagined, and carelessly collapsing the boundaries between psychological realism, science fiction, comedy, horror, fantasy, and magical realism, Carmen María Machado pours out in Her Body and Other Parties her vision of the contradictory world of real women. : The beautiful, the funny, the strange, the dark, and the terrifying, alike. This contradiction is etched in their experiences and daily lives, between push and pull, independence and helplessness, to ultimately reveal the surreal meaning of being a “woman.”
final call" More than a hundred unforgettable flights at most of the world's airports from the age of eight to the age of fifty. He deserved the title of Badr Ibn Battuta!!! I visited five continents (Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, Australia). The United States of America had the lion's share of visits, as I visited ninety-four states, and only Hawaii and Alaska remained. I rode most of the world's airlines in various classes and visited the world's most famous airports. On every trip, I had beautiful, funny, and some embarrassing situations. Getting lost at airports, being late for a flight, difficult inspections, turbulence, strange travelers, all of this and more I have experienced and I will share some of these stories with you.

Poor awareness:
Poor People of Consciousness, a book that includes stories mixed with the bitterness of reality and the texture of imagination, where I narrated the events of the stories so that I could raise the problems faced by some groups of people and according to the experiences of souls who suffered from the injustice of suffering. Stories that captivate the reader and make him think about their details, live their events, and compare them with his mistakes if he finds a similarity in them, so that he can think and make a decision... whether to continue or to rise to the highest levels of awareness and be enriched by them.
The stories are not true, but the extent of the suffering is real and based on the reality of hearts that suffered from the bitterness of ignorance and the control of negativity, hearts that did not learn until they suffered and lost a lot, hearts that paid an abominable price for their ignorance of the secrets of life.
Stories that make the reader think
Stories that make the reader learn and educate
Stories for lessons and benefits
Stories that positively change the way minds think
Stories are not just for entertainment
Stories that elevate you to be among the list of rich intellectuals
Sometimes I wonder, why don't we learn until we hurt? Why cannot we learn from the mistakes of others and reach the stage of awareness? It is true that experiences increase our experience in life, but why do we not make awareness reach maturity by learning from the mistakes of others and striving towards positive change in our lives?
The goal I seek in telling these stories is not just a narration of events, but rather to convey the ideas and lesson from each story to the honorable reader, as life is about lessons that we learn from the experiences we go through, and in the end the lesson is not to repeat mistakes and enhance awareness of the positives.
My prayer is that everyone will benefit from reading the stories I mentioned. A person may see himself in a similar situation and may think I mentioned it, but that is not the point of publishing the book.
