Reverse the current
A brief overview of my book Against the Tide, in which I talked about seven important things for every human being.
This book talks about the self-dialogue that most people experience on a daily basis and the attempt to develop solutions to every possible problem they encounter, while providing examples from real people who have gone through these experiences.
He talked at the beginning about self-control and its importance in overcoming all obstacles in life, and how our religion, Islam, has urged us to discipline ourselves..
In late October, a writer specializing in the lives of saints gives a lecture in a remote northern Swedish village. After the lecture ends, an old man approaches her to tell her that she will stay with him for the night.
Her stay with him is prolonged due to a snow storm that cuts off the road, during which she learns more about the life of her host Hadar, who suffers from cancer, and the strange competition that links him with his brother and neighbor Ulf, who suffers from heart disease.
About two brothers who share a lot in common and are linked by a tangled relationship of jealousy, rivalry, guilt, and a strange guest who becomes the engine of this relationship, Torgny Lindgren tells with dark irony in his Auguste Prize-winning novel, Sweetness, a different story about brotherhood.
The story of another dictator from Latin America, except in this novel he is an educated, enlightened dictator who befriends an academic, a poet, and a writer in Paris, attends opera performances, and decorates his palace with artistic paintings. But despite his “high culture,” he is corrupt and corrupt. He does everything to remain in power, plotting conspiracies and drawing plays, because he knows that without the throne he is worth nothing.
Carpentier wanted the title of his novel, “The Discourse of the Method,” to be compatible with the title of Descartes’ book: “The Discourse of the Method.” While the philosopher lays down his theory of the method with his hands in cold water, its application appears here hot and burning, poisoned with iron, blood, and fire. The Cuban writer addresses the personality of the tyrant from the inside, contemplating his psyche, entering into the recesses of his mind, with writing that is bold in its conceptions, rich in its fertile details, and innovative in its techniques. List it.
