Russia witnessed several revolutions, unrest, and bloody civil wars at the beginning of the twentieth century, resulting in the emergence of the Soviet Union, which formed an image of the great and invincible empire. Some saw in it the fulfillment of the red socialist dream of building a superpower whose influence extended over almost half the world. While some saw it as one of the harshest forms of oppressive totalitarian rule, with huge detention centers and a difficult economic situation. In the year 1991, this empire collapsed rapidly after several revolutions, unrest, and bloody civil wars, and the red man woke up to suddenly find himself living in the ruins of an empire collapsing into dozens of conflicting countries, witnessing a massive economic collapse and the end of the great dreams he had lived. In her book, Svetlana does not search for answers to the big questions that interest the reader of history, but rather for thousands of small details of past daily life by collecting dozens of testimonies from ordinary people who lived this experience and its ups and downs. Svetlana searches for the small night conversations that disappear with the morning, for the dream of a new future, of another time. However, it is the same time repeated; Used time..
Within a Sufi framework held by Al-Attar’s granddaughter, the events of this novel take place in the critical period that Egypt is experiencing before the emergence of the Fatimid state and in its beginnings. It depicts the social situation of the Egyptian people at that time, and the political conflicts hidden under the cloak of religion. In “The Vision of the Eye,” Mustafa Moussa weaves two parallel stories that go side by side, and are intertwined with a third heritage story narrated by “Ablaa” over many years. Fates intersect, destinies are drawn, and the facts of a conflict that will last forever are revealed.
The subconscious is a world full of life, which has no rules or pre-determined form. It is a life like a crashing wave, in which stories occur that only their owners know, and which rarely reach paper. Wading in this sea is a very complicated matter, but it is a very enjoyable matter, and the more you know, the darker it becomes, because ideas throw their impurities into it, forming in this way their opposites that disturb us whenever we sail in them.
The life of an expatriate is a journey of pain and happiness, loss and discovery, success and disappointment. It is a painting in which contrasting colors, very dark and very bright, clash. The life of an expatriate is a journey whose end, according to plan, is a return to the mother’s embrace, the mother who carried him and watched over him as a child, and the homeland mother that contains all his previous memories, but it often ends with the end of the expatriate before the end of the journey or with the end of the mother. This book presents stories of the life of an expatriate that are almost identical to reality, and carry within them all those emotions that we mentioned at the beginning, and it has a tendency toward presenting the condition of the expatriate without adding the usual touch of romanticism, as it is, and without exaggeration or frills.
Man had a beautiful dream about himself, and he aspired to transcend his human condition, but a succession of circumstances opened a wound in this dream. The dream began to bleed and fade away. As it atrophied, it began to take on forms and names. From time to time, a person became aware of his tragic loss and realized that he was working hard to prevent himself from descending from his human level to the level of an animal, and when he resisted, his resistance took on a form of madness, and in this book an attempt is made to touch upon something of... This bleeding is particularly within the context of creative expression. Perhaps these (introductions) could be an (introduction) to a more comprehensive research, or research, but we are currently in the stage of defending our right to insanity.
This book contains a translation of a number of television interviews with some of the most famous Latin American writers and poets, some of whom left our world leaving a great literary legacy, and some of whom are still with us today, enriching our lives with their cultural production. The topics of these interviews varied between shedding light on the details of these writers’ personal lives and their biography and intellectual biography, to their critical opinions regarding their literary experiences and the experiences of some other writers. Some of these interviews were conducted by media professionals and journalists on television programs, or were meetings that brought together writers with each other, such as Márquez’s interview with Neruda. We hope that this book will be a window to discover new aspects about writers who enriched our culture and made our world wider.
“Amazing is a hidden treasure in Aleppo,” says one of the novel’s heroines. In her work, Maha Hassan tries to bring this amazement through writing and memories to re-draw Aleppo and its ancient popular neighborhoods, its rituals of living, the simplicity of its people, and their small dreams, before the war comes and destroys all of this in its path. Relying on a unique technique inspired by the names of Arab and international novels and the titles of the chapters, the heroes of “The Amazing Neighborhood” tell us their story from “Zarqa’s Imagination” and “Beirut Nightmares” to the house of “Sleeping Beauties.” It is a story about love, childhood memories, intentional killing, the emotional placenta, and the role of literature in our lives

Relying on popular stories of reincarnation, Rabih Murshid tells the story of Syrian fragmentation...
After trying my previous book, “In Defense of Insanity,” it occurred to me to do it again. The issue, in brief, is that I select from things that I have previously published in periodicals or introductions to books, what I consider to be valid beyond their time. This book is not a continuation of the previous book, but rather a continuation of it. It contains Lee's opinions on art, culture, journalism, women (and some politics). The question that confronted me in my first book confronts me now: What do these articles have in common? The answer is as naive as I answered earlier: What unites these articles is that I wrote them. The opinions here are my own, which may mean nothing to some of them, and may not mean anything to others. But it was important to me, myself, to say these opinions, and to record them, and among them was a farewell to figures like Assi Rahbani and Al-Dhahirah Rahbani, and even a farewell to a number of friends who had passed away, and who had passed through my life only briefly. Perhaps some bitterness still exists here as well. Upon reviewing the articles, I discovered that I was insisting once again on the losses that had befallen our lives. These are losses greater than military or political defeats. It is our constant humanitarian bleeding. And the one who gives us life...or makes us mad.
Endless hordes of palm trees roll horizontally, regularly and lightly, behind a small human body, heading towards the village of “Al-Ghazala” to destroy it completely. While the residents of the village and its people live the horror of the last moments, awaiting their inevitable fate drawn by someone seeking revenge, there are pasts that unfold, events that appear, and stories that are reproduced to tell the story of two imaginary villages. In a strange atmosphere, and the strangest relationships between the characters of his novel, “Ahmed Kamel” grapples with the idea of human helplessness, and delves into the worlds of secret desires, which people do not dare to announce or reveal. “Mountain of Metaphors” is a novel that takes inspiration from the proverbs of villages in the Egyptian countryside, the beliefs of its people, and their fairy tales, to build its own myth.
