Writing while standing:
It is considered the last book by the late novelist Hassan Mutlaq, the author of the novel (Dabada), in which he talks about the philosophy of writing and the novel. It also embodies his reflections on awareness and perception, which he used to employ in the book and the novel. It is a book that prompts us to ask here: What are prose books? Why do we write? Who is the real writer? What is the point of literary writing? Who is the reader and what is reading? .
Between the covers of this novel is a love story in a time of war that has no time or place.
But it is the product of humanity's struggle since time immemorial, a struggle between good and evil, human greed, and a love that settled between two hearts that refused to die even after their separation.
. في زمن غابر ولى في غفلة من قبائل ارض العرب ... استيقظ خطر كان يتربص بهم منذ عقود خطر تجسد بهيئة رجل ...لقبه اتباعه ب (الماران) كاهن تبعه من تبعه بدعوى نبوءات لا تخطئ من يراها في يقظته ومنامه ثار هذا الكاهن على حاكمه سلب عرشه بمعاونة اتباعه المغيبين ليس ليعتيليه ... بل ليحطمه.
In her collection “The Lover of Nothing,” which is a renewed edition of her collection “My Heart is Half a Shining Moon,” Latifa Al-Hajj travels the reader once again to the places she visited in Turkey, the country that fascinated her from the first visit and in which she experienced different feelings. She writes to us from the air about a close meeting and an awaited dream, and in front of a running waterfall, she describes the joy of nature around her, and the joy that overwhelms her in its depths.
She describes sleep escaping from her eyes in the evening, and the sun yawning on the bed of the sky in the morning, about love and the moon, near which a blue butterfly resided, and in her easy, delicate language, she describes to us her longing, longing, and waiting for love and the beloved.
From the group's texts:
My heart is a bright half-moon / Poetry writes itself in my heart / Dervishes are not looking for relaxation / Your last selfie / Take me back to the child / To you I will fly / What joy / Greetings from the waterfall / Dark dreams / Far away as a star / Everything is beautiful, everything is happy / The soft criminal He sings in Yalova
. الكتاب دعوة لأن تسجل كل حدث رائع في تاريخ الوطن، تستلهم منه الأمل والطاقة والقدر على أن تضيف، وفي الوقت نفسه، دعوة أيضًا لأن نقرأ بوعي أخطاء الماضي ومآخذه، فنستلهم منها، جميعًا دون استثناء، العبرة والدرس؛ كي لا نقع فيها ثانية... وهل هناك معلم أعظم من التاريخ!!
Another postman from Scarmita, but this time he was found in Nicaragua; To be a witness to the last weeks that paved the way for the fall of “Somutha,” the last dictator of Nicaragua. In those decisive moments, the residents of the city of Leon are divided between a majority supportive of the rebels led by Augusto Cesar Sandino, and a minority loyal to the regime and its soldiers. Among them, Scarmita creates a special magical world. The postman decides Letters carrying news of death are better not to arrive, and the oldest woman in the city pretends to be an old widow. To cover up her political activity, the beautiful Vicki shouts in the face of the military, and with them we see the priest, the barber, and others, inventing their own “Trojan horse” to make the rebellion successful and take control of the city.
Through a text that has multiple rhythms and narrative styles, and is full of metaphors, Scarmetta shows how a single event can differ in its impact and meaning depending on the angle from which it is viewed. For some, loss and defeat become a victory and an unforgettable moment for others.
In this work, Scarmeta carries the concerns of Nicaragua; Because for him, the struggle against dictatorships is the same regardless of place.
