Black peacock:
A novel centered around the methods used by political organizations, particularly ideology, to create their individuals who are assigned special roles and at planned times. The social and psychological conditions that the main character in the story goes through are exploited and employed skillfully by the organization to perform their roles efficiently in the future.
The black peacock is a very complex human condition. It appears within the text with different masks and at multiple stages of time. According to this condition, its owner is forced to wear masks that suit every stage of his life and are consistent with the role assigned to him within a long path that was mapped out in advance while he was still young. The novel presents its mysterious main character in two parallel narrative lines, once in the mirrors of others and again in an internal monologue of the same character as she struggles with death on the surface of the river.
The story begins with the story of the mysterious advisor Taj al-Din, one of the leaders of the Islamic movement and one of the mysterious influencers in government, and his strange, transforming personality, with many confusing masks, to delve into the details of a long period of modern Sudan’s life extending from the seventies of the last century, from the years of Nimeiry’s rule and extending To the beginning of the new century, filled with many events that changed the course of political events in the country.
The name of the novel is taken from an adjective given to its secret hero, Adam, when he was thirteen years old when he was serving his sentence in a juvenile facility for killing his mother, her husband, and their son. At this stage, the organization pays attention to Adam's personality and his tendency to violence, and is preparing for the years in which Islamists will rule the country. The novel presents the main character from two angles: as a perpetrator who trapped many victims, and as a victim who was deceived and fell into the trap of violence.
Adam is transformed by the game of masks into Ammar Al-Barakas, Shaker, Taj Al-Din, and many other names. Thanks to it, and thanks to his deep culture and exceptional abilities, he became one of the arms of violence that the authorities exploited to discipline their opponents during the third democracy period, which lasted between the years 1986-1989, and then used it in its multiple wars in South Sudan. And Darfur, which the alleged advisor himself admitted in his narration of his memories in a personal monologue during his struggle with death.
The novel begins with the scene of the enigmatic and enigmatic man (Taj al-Din) moving to the Burri neighborhood, located east of the capital, Khartoum, close to the shore of the Blue Nile, where he kept his distance from his neighbors until the moment his death was announced in the plane accident, without any reference to his name among the missing. The question mark over the man's fate haunted the imagination of his chance neighbor and former companion during his university days, Judge Al-Naim Darraj. He is provoked by the story of the man who wore different masks, so he travels the country in search of the turning point in the path of the mysterious man before he solves all the mysteries in the end.
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.
This book consists of two chapters: the first in which I try to analyze the womanizer’s personality and get closer to his mysterious and complicated inner world.
I do not need to say that these tricks are not used all at once, but rather in each case as it suits it. I am certain that many of them do not deceive women, but Dongguan does not care about how things will turn out. He throws away his lie and runs away!
Before I forget.. Don Juan is a character from Spanish folklore, who appeared for the first time in the play Magen Sevilla.. Legend says that he was a womanizer, and a famous lover, who seduced more than 1,000 women!
