It is rare today that we do not find in explanations and comments on the book of the Old Testament multiple references to archaeological sites, such as Qumran near the Dead Sea and Ugarit on the Syrian coast near the city of Latakia. The Qumran site has become a well-known name to some extent, while the site of Ugarit, which is no less important, did not enjoy the fame that Qumran enjoyed, even though its discovery contributed greatly to re-translating and interpreting many of the words and passages of the Old Testament. This is what prompted me to write this small book that examines the civilization of the ancient city of Ugarit and its legacy. Ugarit was one of many cities that filled the world of the Bible, but its importance lies in the wealth of literary texts that added a lot to our information about the world of the Bible, to a degree that exceeded what any other archaeological site in the eastern Mediterranean provided, and helped fill the gaps between the world. The ancient and modern world.
Ingrid Barøy was born on a small island off the northwestern coast of Norway, an island inhabited by only one family, living out their ambitions and dreams that collide with the boundaries of the land and the weather, and the mercy of the sea, which provides a living, but also brings death.
Father Hans dreams of building a pier connecting them to the mainland, but contact with the outside world comes at a price, which Ingrid will know fully after she grows up and goes to work there for a wealthy family and take care of her two children. With the couple disappearing one day, she finds no choice but to return to her home with the two children, and thus the island’s population increases in number, and a different life begins, especially as Norway awakens to a wider world, a modern world that is volatile and can be cruel.
“The Invisibles” is a profound interrogation of freedom and destiny, written with delicate narration and brief, simple, calm sentences tinged with poetic tensions, creating a painting of natural cinema that makes the “invisible” clearly visible.
