About the book – A Date with the Sun
“A Date with the Sun” is the date that I chose one day to shine on the radio airwaves, and through it I meet loyal listeners, for whose sake I have always been keen to be present every morning, overflowing with love for this country, to present to you everything that is special and new through exceptional topics and guests, and topics that are: In fact, touch me as it touches you. We both agree on the date that the sun does not shine, and that happiness is only the beginning of optimism in every goal.
Today, the radio appointment is born again in your hands, with the release of “Appointment with the Sun”, this dream that I once wished would reach you, and I dedicate it to you, because you are the ones who deserve to re-read the beginnings of every morning, the ones that I made sure to prepare for you with love and longing, while hugging... I took the microphone with passion and from the heart, so I wrote to you a lot of love, happiness, positivity, and hope, and I researched for you a lot of studies, quotes, and the country’s achievements, to collect them today and have them in your hands, a readable copy of my voice that is “a little” far away from you, the one that you hear as you read, and most importantly, you live the moment and smile. Through a version that collected a collection of editorials for 64 episodes of the radio version.
The book “A Date with the Sun” is a reflection of the “A Date with the Sun” program, a new experience entitled “When Happiness Has a Date.”

إلى أفضل أب على الإطلاق بقلم تيم فينتون ... لا شيء يمكن أن يعدك تماماً لما تعنيه كلمة أبوة. هل تذكر عندما حملت طفلك بين ذراعيك للمرة الأولى وسألت نفسك: "ماذا سيحدث بعدئذ؟". لا يوجد دليل أو تطبيق معين يمكنك من خوض رحلة الأبوة. إنها رحلة عاطفية لا يمكن التنبؤ بها. تتخللها ضحكات ودموع، وأوقات مليئة بالمرح والمواقف المضحكة وغير المتوقعة، وبلحظات عزيزة ستحملها في قلبك إلى الأبد.
Twenty years have passed since the end of World War II. A foreign man returns to the German city of Dresden to visit a friend. But instead of his friend, he meets a twenty-year-old girl who works in a new hotel, and a long night-time conversation takes place between a man who spent the last two years of the war in that city, and survived the devastating bombing and Nazi concentration camps, recalling all the pain and tragedies he experienced, and a girl from the next generation. The war, whose horrors he did not know or experienced, is trying to live with a legacy burdened by the crimes and atrocities of his fathers.
"I can't help you, my little love. It's your fight and you have to fight it alone. No one's going to help you, not even me."
