An overview of the novel The Rule of the Weak
This novel carries a vivid picture of the suffering of the awakening generation of young people with their fight against love and honor in favor of religion, and their attempt to achieve the principle that there is no honor in love and no love in honor. That very recent era killed many love stories and tortured them under the cover of darkness.
Immigrant writer
Nathan Price, a Baptist minister, leaves civilized America, going on a missionary mission to the Belgian Congo, bringing with him his family, who carries with them everything they think they will need, but the African land surprises them, turning everything they brought into something worthless, and even their very existence will be full of challenges. Especially with the political events that are ravaging the country that is struggling to gain its independence, and the major powers are interfering in it, assassinating Patrice Lumumba, the country's first elected prime minister.
The novel is alternately narrated by the mother, who loses something irreplaceable there, and her four daughters, each of whom narrates what is happening in her own way, trying to find her own separate path to salvation.
“The Poison Tree Gospel” is an intense journey in the vibrant African land, and a deep exploration of the other, written with a smooth narrative in which Barbara Kingsolver worked to transform the thorny threads of religion, politics, and race into a piece of literature of breathtaking beauty.
This novel was nominated for several literary awards, was translated into more than thirty languages, and sold more than four million copies around the world.

Noam Chomsky enjoys great fame in the Arab world, as a writer who works to expose the foreign policies of the United States of America and its allies, and as a linguist who founded the theory of generative grammar. However, Chomsky is also a first-class philosopher; He wrote on political philosophy, epistemology, the philosophy of mathematics, logic, the mind-body problem, and other traditional philosophical topics. We would like to present to the Arab reader a part of Chomsky’s philosophical work, due to its philosophical importance, on the one hand, and its direct connection to our current and pressing questions about the issues of freedom and liberation, cultural specificities, the role of intellectuals in the struggle for liberation, and other topics, on the other hand.
The articles translated here include topics in epistemology, the foundations of science, rationality, the role of intellectuals, and the relationship between philosophical work and political activity, and are united by one main topic: freedom.
