After twenty years of work, Salem ends his service in the police cavalry and returns to his home and family in Deir al-Qarn, bringing with him the only companion that has remained with him all these years: his horse. Family members have different feelings towards this guest, who will now become part of the family. The chains of storytelling revolve between the five children and the mother, and as they revolve, they weave stories and build worlds. In this novel, Mamdouh Azzam writes, in a new and different style from his previous novels, a story about a simple family that lives its tranquility and fear, its surrender and rejection, its peace and its conflicts, to stir within us endless questions and contemplations, while freedom, in its broad meaning, writes the final chapter.
So we don't forget Corona:
A detailed narrative narration about our lives that we were living peacefully in this world before the Corona crisis, and then suddenly the conditions of the entire world changed from one state to another, and they tended to make different commitments, which were previously rejected, and people were forced to accept them in their current time. This book talks about realistic stories of life and its forms and how we lived it and the whole world lived it at the time of the Corona crisis that struck the world in the year 2020 AD, and the year 2021 AD, which correspond to 1441 AH and 1442 of the Hijri year. All the details of that life, the injuries, people’s dealings with them, and how we watched and observed the positions of peoples, countries, and everyone during this period. It is a book that speaks to those who will come after us and describes to them what our situation was like during this period.

Al-Zawiya is a meeting point that limits space, and Paris is a point of attraction for people of beauty and creativity, and from here comes the value and privacy of this literary publication by the Emirati writer and poet, Dr. Talal Saeed Al-Junaibi.
Its intellectual value. Russell was committed throughout his life to working to change the world in which he lived, and to addressing the public in a clear, rational manner. This is one of the intellectual virtues of philosophy: explaining, clarifying, simplifying, and opening the way for everyone to participate in the process of changing the world. The articles revolve around three axes: First, freedom: Throughout his life, Russell defended freedom of expression in the face of extreme religious and nationalist beliefs. His battle was to defend freedom of expression regardless of the oppressive force. This basic principle was one of the focuses of his thinking about politics and ethics. Secondly, religion: Russell criticized the Bolsheviks’ suppression of believers, and he also criticized the religious people’s suppression of atheists. His position on religion stems from a principled commitment to freedom of expression and faith. Third, rationalism and philosophy: Russell defended rationalism throughout his life, and refused to believe in any issue or opinion that was not supported by evidence in a clear, rational manner. On the other hand, mainly following Hume, Russell holds that reason has limits, and that the rationalist position also requires that we accept that our understanding of the world is limited by the limits of reason
