In this book there are pictures from the world of childhood in its openness to the world of adults, snapshots from the lives of children who receive their first lessons in the school of life and survival, and for the first time look out from the window of their reality and their ages at the world of adults and the prospects for the future that are shaped by an important historical and social stage, which is the Spanish Civil War: Seriousness, fun, drinking, singing, an atmosphere of war, and the sound of bombs. Waiting for a father who will not return, abandoning homes, being displaced from homes, and crossing lines. A life in shelters, a life in mines, the dreams of youth, and teenage love
Obaid is a young orphan from Al Ain, born at the beginning of the twentieth century. He grew up in the desert and learned to make swords, but he loves the sea. He decided to travel to Dubai to become a sailor, and despite the opposition of his mother and sister, he left for Dubai, where he boarded one of the departing ships on a long journey.
The ship crashed on the shore of one of the islands, and Obaid was the only survivor. He discovered that a primitive tribe lived on this island. He tried to escape from the island, but the pirates and slave traders attacked the island and kidnapped the princess. His pride revolted and he freed the princess - and with the help of the people of the island - he defeated the pirates and slave traders. Obaid married the princess and had children with her. He longed to return to his homeland, but pirates and slave traders attacked the island a second time and killed him, his wife, and a large number of tribe members. Obaid was writing all his memoirs in manuscripts found by: Saif - a young Emirati who loves to travel and collect antiques - so Saif decided to travel to the island, where he discovered that Obaid’s granddaughter still ruled the island, and then he returned to Al Ain to visit Obaid’s nephew and tell him the story of his uncle, Al-Nukhadha.
