In 1949, writer Helen Hanff began correspondence with a used bookstore in London, asking them to help her secure some classic books that she could not find in New York. Over the course of 20 years, letters are exchanged between her and the store’s employees, especially Frank Doyle, who secures the books and sends them to her. This correspondence begins with a request for a copy of Hazlitt’s Three Essays and gradually deepens, building a transparent human relationship between book lovers on both sides of the ocean. In the details of their personal lives on the one hand, and chronicling the history of the two countries on the other hand, it includes talk about the food crisis in Britain after rationing, the pivotal elections in both countries, the sports clubs, their social life, Frank’s family news, the development of Helen’s professional career, and even the method of making pudding.

Maryam Farag Juma Sidra Al-Sidr: Forty-two years have passed since the founding of the United Arab Emirates, since December 2, 1971, which is the date from which the blessed march of the union began and whose blessing spread throughout the country. Since before the union and then during the four decades following December 2, a group of women have emerged in the modern and contemporary history of the Emirates. They have created a place for themselves in this history, and left clear impacts in the various scientific, social, media, cultural, and research aspects of life. They were thus pioneers of women’s work in the country. They agree in their challenge of life's difficulties and their struggle for a promising future for society. This study works to preserve, record and document events, occasions, milestones and decisions in the life of Professor Maryam Jumaa Faraj - may God have mercy on her - who was a pioneering model of women’s work in the UAE, and thanks to God Almighty and then her hard work and effort, many successes and achievements were achieved for her.
