«دليل السلام» لحنان السماك هو بلسم القلوب المركّز في ثمانين حكمة ناصعة، تُرشد من ينشد السكينة إلى جادة الصفاء. لا هو كتابٌ تقني، بل مرجعٌ ظلّي للقلب. يمنحك دفعة نحو تقبّل الذات، فتح أبواب الرحمة الداخلية، ومهارة السمو فوق الزوابع اليومية
إلى أفضل أب على الإطلاق بقلم تيم فينتون ... لا شيء يمكن أن يعدك تماماً لما تعنيه كلمة أبوة. هل تذكر عندما حملت طفلك بين ذراعيك للمرة الأولى وسألت نفسك: "ماذا سيحدث بعدئذ؟". لا يوجد دليل أو تطبيق معين يمكنك من خوض رحلة الأبوة. إنها رحلة عاطفية لا يمكن التنبؤ بها. تتخللها ضحكات ودموع، وأوقات مليئة بالمرح والمواقف المضحكة وغير المتوقعة، وبلحظات عزيزة ستحملها في قلبك إلى الأبد.
My wings of freedom:
The (soul) dreams of seeing the outside world, so it faces difficulties in achieving its dream, and on its way to pursue its dream, it meets three other souls, who are (the soul’s companion), (the soul’s soul) and (the soul’s pride), and each soul has a special story with (the soul), that Three souls are three stations different from each other. They face difficulties and a life different from the life they lived in their isolated environment. They begin by searching for their dreams, then happiness, and then search for themselves until they resort to freedom.
What is the true value of a soldier's foot that saved the life of a higher-ranking officer? How does a person who has made laughter his profession actually laugh? How do brief yes or no answers summarize a man's happiness? What memories will a few paintings hanging in a school turned into a military hospital evoke for an injured student returning from war? Is it better to live to work, or to work to live?
These and other questions will be addressed by the German writer Heinrich Boll in this book. Reflecting in his sometimes funny, sometimes angry, and sensitive style every other time, his mockery of the conditions that followed the war, which forced people to resume their lives as if nothing had happened, and his mockery of the capitalist tendency that demands everyone to work to the best of their ability for the sake of “the future”... valuing contemplation. Slowly, Heinrich Bull writes in these stories his response to a hasty world, possessed by madness, and lacking its humanity.
