Hiding behind the identity of a mysterious orientalist, a young American comes to Jabal al-Arab, moves between the villages of Suwayda, and then continues his journey to Latakia. To complete the threads of a miraculous story he heard and became a party to, let us read it partly from the pages of the orientalist’s memoirs, and hear it partly from the tongues of people who lived it.
