.. اعتنى الكثير من المؤرخين بترجمة سيرة الصحابي الجليل «أبو بكر الصديق» فلم يعد هناك الكثير مما يقال عنها، وقد أدرك العقاد هذا الأمر فجاء كتابه عن الصديق مختلفًا؛ فقدم دراسة نفسية تحليلية لشخصية الصديق ليتعرف على صفاته وسماته الشخصية ويستنبط بواعث سلوكه، فيسوق العقاد الأخبار والحوادث التاريخية لا ليعرضها هي نفسها بل ليضع يده على مفاتيح شخصية الخليفة الأول من خلال تعاطيه مع الأحداث وتعامله مع الناس. كما يقترب من بيئته وحياته قبل الإسلام وبعده وظروف إسلامه، ثم يعقد المقارنة بينه وبين «عمر بن الخطاب» ليظهر الفروقات بين شخصياتهما وطباعهما، كما يقدم جوانب من إدارته لشئون الخلافة في الدولة الإسلامية الوليدة وكيف تصرف تجاه الأزمات التي كادت أن تعصف بها.

The country that only asks for its children to die is a dead country. The children who knew nothing but it, and would not think of leaving it, are hunting them down individually, so that devastation will be a clear future, and so that the thought of surviving the people’s experience of major battles for the sake of freedom, justice and change, is thinking. Very simple.

Time involves a new time emerging from its womb, and lessons are shed on its path
The ancient stories and the stories that were an example for an entire generation, and we who witnessed the violent moment of crossing were the bulwark of the old time and the living scepter in the hand of the new time, and for this reason we had to be divided and filled with deep cracks. Before we triumph over a part of us, and what died within us settles at the bottom of the painful times whose madness we witnessed.
The collection “The Hidden One Who Survives Interpretation” includes 28 poems, some of which are short and some are long, and deals with emotional, national, philosophical and contemplative issues. The relationship with women constitutes an important axis in the collection based on the poet’s refined humane and civilized view of women. Exile also constitutes a major axis since the poet lives in exile. Many years ago. The poet also resorts to writing abstract, contemplative poems sometimes as a result of his interaction with external existence and his preoccupation with humanizing things. The collection in our hands is the eighth in the series of Anwar Al-Khatib’s poetry publications, and it comes in the context of his poetic project that aspires to establish a different language and a different, vibrant and diverse construction of the Arabic poem, so that it escapes itself from routine, repetition, and rigid templates.
