"Sophie Perrin" is a French woman who is fond of speed and hates stability. Her sadness is sudden but authentic, her desires are sudden but stem from existential anxiety, and her questions are many but they hide deep wounds.
And Hanifa Kamal, the stubborn Kurdish girl, lived a miserable childhood in Aleppo, which ended in painful torture when her father was forced to choose between two wives, and the decision was to divorce her mother and move them away to a distant village.
There is an “umbilical cord” connecting the two, which will only be revealed with “Paola,” who decides to travel from Paris to Aleppo.
In her novel, Maha Hassan takes us to the world of the Kurds in Syria, with all its rituals, customs and traditions, highlighting their suffering in a country in which they live, but which is cruel to them. It moves between two cultures: the West and the East, and in doing so it raises the question of identity, its true component, and the question of belonging and its meaning.
ولليلتين بقيتا من شوال سنة إحدى عشرة وأربعمائة فُقد (الحاكم بأمر الله). وقيل أن سبب فقده أخته ست الملك, وكانت امرأة حازمة، وقيل أنها غضبت لأفعاله التي هددت استقرار الخلافة الفاطمية. وقيل بل تآمرت عليه جماعة سرية, حين قرب إليه رجلاً خطيراً يُدعى (الشيخ الأسود), وقيل بل اختفى لأن الله أرسل صاعقة من السماء فوق رأسه أحرقته بعد أن قال بأنه إله, وقيل أن بعض العامة قد تآمروا عليه, وقد انتشر الرعب والفزع في بر مصر كلها بسبب فرسان الظلام الذي أتى بهم ليحكموا ليل القاهرة.
«إبليس» على وجه الأرض كان كُلَّ الخير! خيرٌ حين بدأ التمييز بين الخير والشر؛ حيث لم يكن بينهما تمييز قبل معرفة الشيطان بأفعاله، ووساوسه، وصفاته، وخفايا مقاصده الدنيئة. فنحن أمام دراسة وافية من الدراسات المتميزة حول «قوة الشر» منذ قديم الأزل إلى منتصف القرن العشرين؛ ماذا كان قبل الشيطان؟ ولماذا سقط الشيطان في غيابات الشر ودروبه؟ وكيف كان في الحضارات السابقة؟ وما نظرة الأديان الثلاثة إليه؟ وإلَامَ آلت الأحوال به في هذا العصر؟ تلك هي الأسئلة التي حاول العقاد أن يُجيب عليها في هذا الكتاب.

Adam rubs his old rust with the blade of a knife. He scratches the space with tremendous instinctive force. After a period of time has passed since the absence of a second person, the open space has become grayer, and different from what Adam imagined. Here he walks alone, but the old noise still haunts him. A mythical being lives under his skin, making him rub his hands and rub them. His eyelids, he wants to see the light hitting the body of the night with the blade of the knife, and the knife does not seem bold when faced with the thickness of the bohemian bellows that strikes it.
Adam declares, the wires extending from under the neck to the edge of the shoulder are swollen, his face appears congested with blood and the red color invades his place. Adam is now thinking about the crow that hovers around his head, crowing with a sound like the horn of an old freight vehicle. He had previously been told that seeing a crow in the belly of the sky is an omen. It was ominous, so his senses trembled and he turned to the notebooks of the past, and questions abounded in his head.
