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.
He was working in a sales company to support his family, which consisted of a father, mother, and sister. He worked to pay off his father’s debts that had burdened him. He is the “good son” as long as he performs his duty to the fullest extent, and any change in this is accompanied by anger, rejection, and neglect. In his workplace, which he found himself forced to live with, the state of domination and control by the chief of staff on the one hand is clearly evident, while on the other hand, it is matched by a state of subservience and submission on his part.
In fact, he has an unconscious desire to be fired from his job, but he fears for his family. From here arises a state of schizophrenia, as the two models of the cruel father and the boss represent the controlling authoritarian principle, and this is what arouses in him both submission and the spirit of rebellion.
He tried to follow the rules, to be a polite boy, to be rational as his boss described him at work... and between all these honest attempts, we find him completely losing himself, and he began to experience a surprising existential crisis!
Here he wakes up from his nightmares one day to find himself transformed into a disgusting “insect”!!
At first glance, he thought he was still dreaming, and amid the chaos and unreasonableness of the events, he needed conclusive evidence to confirm to him the veracity of the event, and this is what he got when he found his family shocked and terrified by the horror of the event. Then he realized the reality of the event and exclaimed, saying: “No, it is not a dream.” .
What I chose was based on a combination of personal taste and conviction - which sought to be objective as much as possible - that these examples are worthy of introducing the wide reader to Adwan’s poetic personality. What also requires clarification is that the selection of poems over others was subject to a specific technical factor: that is, the replacement of long poems in favor of medium or short ones, in order to make room for the largest possible number of texts expressing the experience, and in a way that is proportionate to the proposed size of the selections.
Hopefully, these selections will succeed in recalling a lofty poetic stature, represented by “the free son of life,” “the one who exalts himself upon condescension,” bending “with the discipline of a soldier before a spike,” looking “sad and angry, at the perforated shoes of the poor,” biased “to her path filled with the dust of honor.” "; As Mahmoud Darwish expressed in his eulogy for Adwan.
Since he found burnt bones in Tell Al-Makrab, bad luck has been accompanying Mahdi, as misfortunes continue to happen to him, as he thinks, but the head of the Egyptian excavation team has a different opinion, and that is why he seeks his help in searching for antiquities, and soon his intuition is correct, and they find the treasure. Which the ancient tales of sheikhs talk about. But bad luck intervenes again and sends his friend to prison. Will he survive? What does the ancient prophecy have to do with it? Who is the “girlfriend” that he will meet, so that each of them will change the fate of the other?
With an exciting narration, Bassam Shams El-Din moves from one event to another, telling us the story of Mahdi Nasari, a poor hired hand, shedding light on the entry of the Egyptian army into Yemen, and its support for the revolution led by the Republicans against the royalists there.
القرية التي حلقت فوقها الملائكة. لم يزعج الهدوء شيء حتى وجدوا جثتها في أعماق البئر. قالوا إن الجن قتلها انتقامًا من زوجها، أو ربما قتلت نفسها، لكن لم يفكر ...
