The book carries a sublime message that a young woman wanted to convey, despite her young age. However, life has taught her enough lessons to make her decades ahead of those of her age. The book is a bridge between the writer’s heart and the hearts of the people, so that she can express through it the “lesson” that makes us obsolete about the existence of a person. He guides us to it, and it is enough for us that words are able to console us and paint a picture of happiness in our hearts.
In 1949, writer Helen Hanff began correspondence with a used bookstore in London, asking them to help her secure some classic books that she could not find in New York. Over the course of 20 years, letters are exchanged between her and the store’s employees, especially Frank Doyle, who secures the books and sends them to her. This correspondence begins with a request for a copy of Hazlitt’s Three Essays and gradually deepens, building a transparent human relationship between book lovers on both sides of the ocean. In the details of their personal lives on the one hand, and chronicling the history of the two countries on the other hand, it includes talk about the food crisis in Britain after rationing, the pivotal elections in both countries, the sports clubs, their social life, Frank’s family news, the development of Helen’s professional career, and even the method of making pudding.
حوادث حدثت في دول مختلفة في العالم من أشخاص بعضهم متعمدون بالإقدام عليها وبعضهم أجبروا عليها ومعظمهم قاموا بها بأنفسهم لظروف خاصة بهم أجبرتهم على القيام به
Leaving the herd:
A book about awareness and improving the quality of life, through returning to oneself, and respecting the human right to determine his true choices and preferences, and what he likes and dislikes... without coercion, and without having to go along with others in their convictions... The book consists of a set of brief lessons in thought, morals, emotion, and relationships. It is written in a smooth language, suitable for all ages. The book is considered an extension of a group of books that the writer has previously published in recent years, including Al-Comedino, Al-Dongguan, The Camel Café, and Al-Marakibi.
