Using a sarcastic style and storytelling, the writer weaves his narrative fabric, recording the details of daily life in the world before the Palestinian Nakba, documenting its historical events and characters, breathing life into the characteristics of this period, inviting the reader to explore and sense the pulse and spirit of things. The narrative style followed by the novelist leaves the reader free to draw guided conclusions. Through the framework of the seven lessons that the child hero of the story will learn, which include the basic meanings of his life and the concepts of prevailing values ​​and those that must be followed, and through the relationship that will develop between him and the British colonel, the worldview of that era, which represented a fundamental turning point in the history of Palestine and the Arab world, becomes clearer and more expansive. \"Soldiers will not know what really happened in the war until they return home.\" On the battlefield, priorities change, and reality becomes the most prominent victor, but the bitter taste of the results comes later. Much of the novel's events take place during World War II, but it explores its repercussions on people, characters, and situations. It is not a chronicle of the political event, the catastrophe, or the defeat, but rather a chronicle of what happened to people and humanity, and of the stories that the interaction between them creates. An elegant and thoughtful novel, radiating with poetry, sarcasm, and emotion from a time before the still-bleeding wound of the catastrophe and defeat, and stories that return with vivid images to a reality that was on the brink of them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bait El Kutub - عصير الكتب","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45398800892058,"sku":"9789953876221","price":38.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/files\/202001141552815961841.jpg?v=1734270699"},{"product_id":"9786140103993","title":"Lanterns of the King of Galilee ","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eLanterns of the King of Galilee\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e Author's name: \u003cspan\u003eIbrahim Nasrallah\u003c\/span\u003e \n\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e Qandil, King of Galilee, is the seventh novel in his novel project (The Palestinian Farce), along with The Time of White Horses, The Eraser Child, Birds of Caution, Olives of the Streets, Amina's Weddings, and Under the Morning Sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e With the publication of this novel, the Palestinian comedy has covered a spiritual, national, and humane period spanning 250 years of modern Palestinian history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e The novel \"Lanterns of the King of Galilee\" was published by the Arab House of Sciences as part of a distinguished list of Arabic novels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e About the book \"Lanterns of the King of Galilee\" \u003cbr\u003eThe novel, The Lanterns of the King of Galilee, is a foundational novel, not only in terms of novelistic writing that travels far into Palestinian time, which here is the end of the seventeenth century and almost the entire eighteenth century (1689-1775), but also in its deeper search for the foundations of the formation of identity and the human self in this region extending between two seas: the Sea of ​​Galilee (Tiberias) and the Sea of ​​Acre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003eAn epic climax elevates Ibrahim Nasrallah's novelistic project, and the Palestinian comedy project in particular, to a lofty position as he writes the epic of that leader (Zahir al-Umar al-Zaydani), who rebelled against Turkish rule and sought to establish the first modern national political entity in Palestine, and the first national entity in the Arab East.

In a unique style, veiled sarcasm, and concise expressions of various images of life, and with rare boldness in breaking with the established modern novelistic form, which is simultaneously traditional. With expressive images like flashes that come and go, with unique rituals that are unconventional in their intensity and studied form, the poet Ibrahim Nasrallah dialogues in this novelistic work with the bitter state of alienation that has come to occupy a vast space in the Arab soul since the first Gulf War, passing through the harsh shadows of what the Palestinian situation has become, arriving at the post-September 11th stage and the occupation of Iraq. These are balconies from which our writer overlooks the reality of the situation experienced by the novel's hero, Rashid Al-Nimr, and his family. They are stations that represent images of the life of the Arab person searching for his identity, freedom, and security, but he cannot find them. An era filled with conflicts, wars, and poverty to the point that he looks in the mirror and finds another image of himself. The novel's hero says: \"I want to contemplate myself in a mirror that does not reflect my image!! Isn't this difficult, and what is the difficulty in that? This means that you will be where you were, without eyelids, with dreams that remind you of the day, without a road, and above all, alone, with this blind mirror!! His dead friend asked him: And why do you accompany me?! Because I cannot see myself in you! And why don't you see yourself in me?! Because you have no eyes! You get my point, don't you? \"The Balcony of Delirium\" is a new form in modern fiction literature through which Ibrahim Nasrallah broke the concept of building character with impersonality, and broke art with art so that there would be space in this (epic absurdity) We live in a new reality that can no longer be discussed except by going to the extreme border area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bait El Kutub - عصير الكتب","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45398811410586,"sku":"9789953876054","price":32.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/files\/2020072871552059631.jpg?v=1734271090"},{"product_id":"9789953879086","title":"balcony of shame ","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003ebalcony of shame\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e Author's name: \u003cspan\u003eIbrahim Nasrallah\u003c\/span\u003e \n\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003eThis is the third novel in the novel project \"Balconies,\" which includes several novels, each completely independent of the others. As usual, Ibrahim Nasrallah remains the best at expressing the contradictions of social life, the best critic, and the best at conveying its images with extreme and rare boldness, breaking with the traditional novelistic form. He now tackles a current, highly sensitive and disturbing issue: \"honor crimes,\" whose victims are women who have been wronged by both their families and society, helpless in the face of the cruelty of society, its customs, traditions, and canned cultural frameworks that seek to create a girl like a moving doll in the family home and the marital home simultaneously. These are balconies from which the novelist wanted to glimpse the reality of the situation experienced by Arab women, especially those in the middle and poor classes, by placing all his aesthetic, cognitive, and creative experience in the character of \"Manal,\" whose father insisted on her education and provided her with the necessary support until she graduated and took up a job as a social supervisor. She then found that the world, for her, had suddenly expanded. But? Suddenly, her life changes and the worst happens! \"Suddenly, Younis opened the car door from the outside, and in less than a second, Manal felt the coldness of the dagger's blade against her neck. 'I will slaughter you if you breathe!' (...) In front of the door of that small room, he stood for a moment, then pushed the door open with his right foot. They entered. He closed the door with his foot, and in a quick movement, he lifted the dagger from her neck. He pinned her back to the door, put the dagger back in its place, and with his free hand, turned the key. At that moment, he was certain that his prey had lost all her strength, as well as her voice. Her hands fell to her sides like two worn pieces of cloth on a clothesline. He dragged her towards the bed, turned on that small red light, which he seemed to have prepared especially for that moment, and under its heavy light, she could see the human face transform into the face of a monster.\" So what happened next? This is what we will discover together when we read this purposeful novel, which its author intended to be a resounding cry in the face of all those who deprive women of their humanity and their right to life, to choose, and to defend themselves. How long will society and men continue to view women as prey to be hunted whenever they want, and whose shame can only be washed away with blood? Is the man's concern in traditional societies to defend the family's honor a concern for himself, or a concern for the woman he considers eternal property? His concern for her is beyond debate as an act of chivalry. Is it so? A novel that includes a courageous defense of a woman's right to protect her life and humanity, a right bestowed upon her by God before humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"عصير الكتب","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45398812917914,"sku":"9789953879086","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/files\/20200728718501069632.png?v=1734271229"},{"product_id":"9786140134669","title":"My childhood so far ","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eMy childhood so far\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e Author's name: \u003cspan\u003eIbrahim Nasrallah\u003c\/span\u003e \n\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003eIt is a novel of a different kind of Palestinian love, transcending poverty, oppression, and small and large wars, embracing the story of a people. A magnetic novel, with an attraction that draws you upward, to soar above the camp, above the setbacks, and above death... a novel of life. The novelist and critic Farouk Wadi presented a critical reading of the novel, in which he says: “Although I have read all of Ibrahim Nasrallah’s novels, without exception, the magic of “Lanterns of the King of Galilee” remained overwhelming in my mind and conscience. Only “My Childhood Until Now” rivaled it among Ibrahim’s narrative works, which is a magical work with other creative artistic specifications, new and different. In an oral comparison between the two works, I said to Ibrahim: If “Lanterns” is the novel of my mind, which arose from a creative narrative and historical research investigation that did not prevent the splendor of imagination with its soaring wings, then “My Childhood Until Now” is the novel of my heart, to which I have become more emotionally attached than any other, because of the biographical or semi-biographical elements it contains, with all their brilliance and intimacy that did not prevent the imagination from wandering and taking free flight. In any case, the Ibrahimi novel of my heart is now in your hands, and I will not go overboard talking about it, for I will forfeit your right to enjoy it.” And live, contemplate and be amazed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"عصير الكتب","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45398814916762,"sku":"9786140134669","price":69.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/files\/7f497c7b39fcb14fb4de4b53e6c1a9830d12323d_592872.jpg?v=1734271365"},{"product_id":"9786140136007","title":"Sun of the eighth day ","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eSun of the eighth day\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e Author's name: \u003cspan\u003eIbrahim Nasrallah\u003c\/span\u003e \n\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003eBy adding \"The Eighth Day Sun\" to the \"Palestinian Comedy\" project, Ibrahim Nasrallah has added a flavor completely different from anything he has previously presented in \"comedy\" novels; indeed, different from anything he has presented in any of his novels. The events of this short novel take place in Palestine in 1948, and it is packed with a narrative charm capable of uniting the souls of readers of all levels of awareness and ages, in a single age; the age of the pure soul in its innocence, the vastness of its essence, and its search for answers that establish the meaning of its existence; with all the meaning, beauty, freedom, and magic of imagination. This is achieved through a sweet inspiration from popular heritage as an importer of identity, an essential component of the human self, and a shining part in the process of shaping its uniqueness and the uniqueness of the place that embraces this self and which it embraces. About this novel, the writer Ibrahim Nasrallah says: “I heard the story of my grandfather and his camel more than once from my mother during my childhood, as she was proud of it as a personal legacy that no one else had a match for. I recorded it in the early nineties of the last century, and it was only one word long. I used parts of its events in the novel “Birds of Caution,” and then it was the subject of one of the poems in the collection “In the Name of Mother and Son.” When my mother passed away at the end of October, this story was the most present for me, as I became, just like my mother, proud of it as a personal legacy. Perhaps what makes me say that it is a personal legacy even now is that I have never read it before. I have read a great many books that include folk tales, and I have not heard it from anyone, even though I have recorded many stories directly from people’s mouths. For some reason, I felt that writing this story, as a novel, was the most beautiful gift I could offer to my mother's soul. But after writing it, I realized that there was something my mother had forgotten to tell us; because the story remained suspended, and even needed another half. Perhaps she had deliberately not told us the whole story, in the hope that one of her sons would complete it in his own way, and thus create a new legacy for those who would come after him from the family members! And here I have done so when I wrote what I heard from her and wrote the second half, completing what I saw was missing from the events of a story that seems to never end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"عصير الكتب","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45398816391322,"sku":"9786140136007","price":37.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/files\/d04277a0480202c48fe68f12f2311b36b3c6e2ed_621880.jpg?v=1734271566"},{"product_id":"9786140133525","title":"The Complete Poetic Works of Ibrahim Nasrallah, 3 Volumes","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eComplete Poetic Works\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e Author's name: Ibrahim Nasrallah \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\" style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003eFor decades, Ibrahim Nasrallah remained a poet, blowing melodies into a flute of melodies beyond criticism. As the late Dr. Ihsan Abbas said, \"He traversed many stages and traced the evolution of his poetry along a path that extended and detoured.\" As for the novel, Nasrallah charted a different path for himself, delving into memory and societal development through comprehensive novelistic projects that accompanied many historical turning points, especially those related to the Palestinian cause and the epic of a people who remained steadfast in their land and rights. Today, Beirut publishes the poetic works of the poet and novelist Ibrahim Nasrallah in three volumes, including his collections published between 1980, which he opened with his collection \"Horses on the Outskirts of the City,\" and 2017, which saw the publication of his collection \"Love is Evil.\" Over these long decades, Nasrallah's experience witnessed many transformations in its diverse aesthetic and intellectual choices, starting from the normal-length poem, to the very short poem, to which he devoted four poetic works, passing through the biographical and epic poem, and arriving at the operatic work. In all of these works, the poet benefited in his experience from the techniques of narrative fiction, cinema, photography, painting, philosophy, and other artistic, intellectual, and existential concerns. Nasrallah received many awards that honored his poetic creativity, such as the \"Sultan Al Owais Award for Arabic Poetry 1997,\" the \"Arar\" Award for Poetry, and the Best Poetry Collection Award three times for three of his poetry collections. His experience was also addressed by a large number of doctoral and master's theses, and his poems were translated into several international languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"عصير الكتب","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45398817079450,"sku":"9786140133525","price":199.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/files\/1641121869771581900.jpg?v=1734271983"},{"product_id":"9786140127074","title":"Biography of Ain","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eBiography of Ain\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e Author's name: \u003cspan\u003eIbrahim Nasrallah\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003eIn the novel \"Biography of an Eye\" by the Palestinian author Ibrahim Nasrallah, the pioneering Palestinian photographer Karima Abboud (1893–1940) is present on more than one level. In the first half of the last century, Abboud was able to break through a stereotypical reality in which men monopolized the art of photography, earning her the title of pioneer of photography in Palestine and the Arab world. She was able to realize the profound meaning of photography as an art form, which further cemented her leadership—a leadership that is now appreciated worldwide. Karima was able to break through social reality by rebelling against the traditional image of women, asserting her powerful presence as a girl and woman capable of wresting her freedom and securing recognition of her rights. We can consider her one of the renaissance figures who achieved women's freedom in word and deed. If this novel is about all of this, it is also about the art of photography itself, and the story of a family struck to its deepest core by the curse of British colonialism and then Zionism, which plagued Palestine. A different novel about different characters, it seems, with its tenderness, sweetness, and melancholy, to be one of Palestine's most beautiful songs.

A novel of generations, its events take place in Beit Sahour, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and other Palestinian cities.

This novel is part of the novel project (Balconies), which Nasrallah inaugurated with the novel \"The Balcony of Delirium,\" which was met with exceptional critical and academic interest. Perhaps the most prominent feature of this project is the high experimental energy with which this writer writes half of it. While the discussion has been long about the relationship between form and content, Nasrallah presents an advanced vision in this field in the issue of considering form as content in itself, and he confirms that there is no such thing as pure truth through this artistic construction that he presents. Thus, form is revealed in this \"Arab comedy\" as a human act, closely linked to the meaning of freedom in an avant-garde novelistic text that engages in dialogue with the omniscient narrator and questions his absolute knowledge! When \"The Balcony of Delirium\" was published, one critic wrote: \"Ibrahim Misrallah reinvents the literature of the absurd.\" But what we can also sense is his ability, in this project and his other novels, to offer limitless suggestions in the field of novel structure and to delve into Arab anthropology at this current moment with rare courage and depth. Many Arab novels have dealt with the issue of regimes targeting their opponents, including politicians, intellectuals, and activists in the fields of knowledge and public life. But this novel takes a different direction, contemplating how these regimes have worked to destroy each individual person individually, as if each person were an adversary and an enemy, turning peoples into ineffective, non-belonging amorphous masses, and homelands into mere places emptied of their meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"عصير الكتب","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45496357781658,"sku":"9789953877556","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/files\/7641222.jpg?v=1738139066"},{"product_id":"9789953876245","title":"Street olives","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eStreet olives\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e Author's name: \u003cspan\u003eIbrahim Nasrallah\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003eIbrahim Nasrallah tackles the sensitive issue of bodily abuse, and he fully embraces it.

Three female characters play a prominent role in this novel, but the novel is a condensation of fifty years of the vicissitudes experienced by the Palestinian people outside their homeland, from before the year of the Nakba until the mid-nineties of the last century.

That is Color” is a collection of testimonies that illuminate many aspects related to the concerns and transformations of the literary experience. And to that, there are questions of writing itself and its techniques, poetry and novels, and the stories of many texts, how they were born, and how they developed, until they were completed, and the relationship of visual arts to literature, and the intimate relationship with cinema. It also addresses an aspect of the life experience intersecting with literature, especially during the early formative years and the beginnings of the Palestinian diaspora and its ongoing effects. About the question of writing and the name that is not complete, the writer Ibrahim Nasrallah says: “Like the question of freedom, the question of death and life, and the question of beauty, the question of writing accompanied the human journey, to embrace, therefore, all of these questions, because these questions, and others, have always been its primary obsession that has troubled humans since they began to sense their existence on this earth. The question of writing becomes more difficult when the writer discovers that it is the question that carries the burden of all questions and the question of writing as well. The question of writing is the laboratory of questions, not only as a language, but as a way of life. Each writer will come up with a result different from the other, but the paradox here is that no one will come up with an answer It can be considered complete. As long as there are humans, there will be questions, because the question of freedom, the question of death, the question of life, and the question of beauty are insatiable questions that do not accept any answer, and all that writing does is provide another open answer, with no direct result other than the birth of new questions. Perhaps here lies the misery of the writer or artist, for while science advances after inventing the telegraph, to invent the telephone, the fax, and even the Internet..., writing continues to deal with impossibilities that cannot be achieved, and for which it cannot find final answers. Writing is the profession of finding new, deeper questions...”. The book was introduced by critic Dr. Muhammad Abdul Qader with an introduction entitled “From a Cave in a Mountain... to the Summit of Kilimanjaro: Features of a Personal - Creative Biography of Ibrahim Nasrallah”, in which he said: “... anyone who writes something from the creative biography of a writer like Ibrahim Nasrallah is at a loss to determine whether his task is easy or difficult, for it is easy by virtue of the breadth of the field of creativity that he produced Ibrahim. It is difficult at the same time, and perhaps for the same reason, since whoever takes on such a task must be selective and enslaved. This is clearly unfair. Whatever the situation, this is an attempt to enter the diverse world of a creator who has produced to date more than forty books, including poetry, novels, and studies, not to mention dozens of paintings, drawings, and photography, in addition to dozens of press interviews and creative self-testimonies. The first thing that catches the eye of anyone reading this creative journey of Nasrallah is the multiplicity of talents and interests, in addition to the clear boldness in linking different artistic worlds that many are afraid of. As for the characteristic that represents Ibrahim's best feature - as I believe - it is that Ibrahim, throughout his artistic experience, was the owner of a creative project. This project was not generated by a timetable with specific themes, but was rather an expression of the strength of vision and foresight, and the strength of will to manage the creative self and interact creatively with the self, the environment, and the world...\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"عصير الكتب","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45496360992922,"sku":"9786140124264","price":58.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/files\/37969101.jpg?v=1738139479"},{"product_id":"9786140127081","title":"Key Shadows","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eKey Shadows\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e Author's name: \u003cspan\u003eIbrahim Nasrallah\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003eIn the novel \"Shadows of the Keys\" by the poet and novelist Ibrahim Nasrallah, the Palestinian person appears as a mythical image of his memory, just as his memory appears as an image of the meaning of his existence. A novel that transcends many eras and major transformations witnessed by Palestine, and experienced by the characters in this work, extending to the farthest limits of the idea of ​​existence, diaspora, and identification with a homeland that was forcibly taken away. It is also about the distance between the humanity of the right-holder and the arrogance of the denier of this right, which is embodied here through an exceptional confrontation between a Palestinian woman and a Zionist officer. This relatively short novel proves that epics do not always need many pages to deserve their name. In “Shadows of the Keys,” another powerful, moving, and stormy epic emerges, due to the extreme intensity of the conflict that Palestine has experienced and continues to experience in confronting its occupiers. About Palestine, love, art, photography, singing, music, and human heroism, comes “The Bells Trilogy,” the epic work of the poet and novelist Ibrahim Nasrallah, winner of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction (the Booker Prize) in 2018, to form what we can describe as a novel of novels, connected and separate at the same time, so that the reader can read any one of them as an independent work, or read the entire trilogy as a multifaceted, integrated work, for a single story, which is the story of Palestine during the twentieth century. The twenties. This epic work, which is an extension of (The Palestinian Farce), embraces the broader novel project “The Bells Trilogy,” which includes three novels: (Shadows of the Keys), (The Biography of an Eye), and (Tank Under the Christmas Tree), and with it Ibrahim Nasrallah confirms a superior ability to renew, give, and explore new areas, historically and humanly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bait El Kutub - عصير الكتب","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45496361746586,"sku":"9786140127081","price":32.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/files\/44154286.jpg?v=1738139661"},{"product_id":"9786140118201","title":"wild waves","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003ewild waves\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e Author's name: \u003cspan\u003eIbrahim Nasrallah\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\"Wild Waves\" is a novelistic narrative aged with the wine of poetry, based on the dialectic of homeland and writing. The writing here is almost a kind of prediction of an uprising in its infancy; and with a modern literary language that throws us far away to a confused land, trying to capture the visible from the scattered images of the \"Palestinian homeland\" and return it to the sky of memory. The homeland in which all the impossibilities created by life with all its complexities and struggle with a merciless enemy merge. Thus, it is a novel about the endless absurdity of place and people, and an effort to extract something of joy; With a pen that has a pure, steadfast, and living identity, it was a witness to its era and still is. The work was headed in its sixth edition by the author of the novel, Ibrahim Nasrallah, “As an introduction... about an ending of a different kind,” in which he spoke about the occupied homeland and his upbringing in it, the circumstances surrounding the writing of “Wild Waves,” and the critics’ opinion of the novel, including what was stated in it: “… The critics who dealt with (Wild Waves) were divided. Some of them dealt with it as a new artistic form in Arabic writing. Some of them dealt with it as a literary scenario, while most of the critics dealt with it as a different novel. But in the end, and far from any classifications, it is the book in which I learned and lived the freedom of writing. I hope that this feeling will be transferred to the reader, male and female, so that they may live in it the freedom of reading with all its liberated meaning!” They said about the novel: “A cinematic novel that establishes a new writing style and an aesthetic expression whose pillars are based on visual vision.

Every time the abyss opens its balcony for us! With this textual threshold, Ibrahim Nasrallah draws the reader into the text of “The Balcony of the Abyss” and gives him the keys to exploration, to delve into its unknowns, and illuminate its dark areas through a galaxy of intellectual and cultural propositions that will be exploded by the elements of the text during the act of reading. It is a novel about the layers of the human psyche as it is about the layers of the construction of Arab power, and its extraordinary ability to change its appearance, without changing anything noteworthy in its content. An influential minister, a university professor, and a female lawyer: three divided characters, in a divided reality, moving within a time frame that extends twenty years before the Arab revolutions, until the moment of the big explosion. Where the influential person is not as skilled at violating homelands as he is at harassing his female students, and the female lawyer is not as skilled at anything as she is at not achieving justice for herself! In the background of the picture, the human margin, under siege, appears alone capable of resisting all of this with the cunning of the defeated! (The Balcony of the Abyss) is a novel full of deep dialogues and paradoxes that go Far from the details of the prevailing social, political, and economic structure, it exposes the shiny outer shell of fragile characters, despite their claims of power, and a social stratum that lives on plunder, theft, and corruption. It is a novel of open space for models that fall upwards! And a novel of barter that recalls Faust and his deal with the devil in a more miserable way, in a time when everything has been commodified, and even beautiful memories and dreams have been transformed into a commodity sold to quench the thirst of nightmares, a time when homelands are violated as people are. The novel's question remains unanswered after finishing reading it: Will the ability of Arab regimes to adapt and renew themselves in the era of transformations that began in the late 1980s be the same as their masterful ability after the era of revolutions?! Ibrahim Nasrallah presents a novel with multiple voices, artistically composed in a way that invites the reader to contribute to rebuilding the text, perhaps as part of an attempt to go further, represented by rebuilding life!

His work is crucial in reviving Palestine—history, geography, spirit, and hope—in his creativity in language, place, time, and form. His identity is deeply immersed in the world of writing, and he constantly seeks to renew his tools towards a more refined expressive style in poetry and metaphysical sidr. He reclaims his cinematic culture to achieve this creative convergence between the art of writing and the art of cinema. Ibrahim Nasrallah possesses significant creative value in terms of novelistic achievement, and he has distinguished experiences that have been noted by many Arab critics concerned with narrative narrative, especially his epic experience in (The Palestinian Farce), which includes the novels (Birds of Caution \/ The Erased Child \/ Olives of the Streets \/ Safe Weddings \/ Under the Morning Sun \/ The Time of White Horses). When reading Nasrallah's novels, the reader feels as if he is part of an event that is distinguished by its freshness, as if it is just happening, in a way that the reader opens for the first time and belongs to his vision, his space, and his being as a novelist, an affiliation that is almost decisive. This affiliation is manifested through the aesthetics of shaping a type that emerges from the cloak of experience and is not imposed upon it, as the spirit of the poet remains present and current in the depths of the novel's narrative without the poetic dominance over the novel, as might happen to those who work on both genders together.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bait El Kutub - عصير الكتب","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45496368169114,"sku":"9789953876269","price":32.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/files\/6921391.jpg?v=1738140299"},{"product_id":"9786140138148","title":"All beautiful things are breakable","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eAll beautiful things are breakable\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e Author's name: \u003cspan\u003eIbrahim Nasrallah\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;;text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003eIn every human being there is something of what the heroes of this novel are, which travels from beginning to beginning, not only for you to contemplate them, but for us today. A novel written with insight about the tragedy of leaving paradise, sometimes with the anguish of tragedy and at other times with black humor. We are all a product of that first tragedy, and each of us has our share of it. Thus, Adam and Eve are not behind us, but with us here in the twenty-first century, as if what is happening today is what they lived, or as if we are the memory of each of them and their wife. How can the “now” be a memory of the past, just as the past is a memory of every “now,” that is what Ibrahim Nasrallah presents in this novel that transcends time, far from the gloom of writing about tragedies, and laughter that resembles crying, and crying in which there are many features of laughter. It is a journey within humanity as much as it is a journey through time, in which the omniscient narrator is present with all his knowledge in this amazing trilogy that bears his name, where thousands of years separate the events of the first part from the events of the second part, which was published under the title “Windcatchers.” Each part in the omniscient narrator’s trilogy seems independent, but arriving at the meaning will not be complete without staying at the three stations consecutively, as there are two parallel rivers that cross the entire trilogy: the river of humanity with its transformations, and the river of the omniscient narrator with his transformations as well. Before and after this, it is a journey to restore us to regain the ability to be amazed and to reclaim beauty before its decline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bait El Kutub - عصير الكتب","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46705067229338,"sku":"9786140138148","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/files\/415832.jpg?v=1761421934"},{"product_id":"9786140113817","title":"Balcony of Paradise","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eBalcony of Paradise\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003cspan\u003eIbrahim Nasrallah\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIn a vast, multi-layered expanse, the characters of Ibrahim Nasrallah's novel \"Balcony of Paradise\" move, making this novel a distinctive addition and flavor to his \"Balconies\" series.

Through this book, he also traverses the most important junctures of contemporary Arab history, from the year of the Palestinian Nakba until today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bait El Kutub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47859210387610,"sku":"9786140101258","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/files\/2020072873316549635.jpg?v=1777125505"},{"product_id":"9786140120266","title":"حرب الكلب الثانية","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eحرب الكلب الثانية\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eإسم المؤلف : \u003cspan\u003e إبراهيم نصر الله\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e- لقد لاحظتُ منذ يومين أن الناس لم تعد تتعارك وتختلف لتجرح، بل لتقتل.\u003cbr\u003e- تقتل نهائيًا؟\u003cbr\u003e- !نهائيًا، كما لو أنهم متفقون على قاعدة تقول: من مكان الشجار إلى المقبرة\u003cbr\u003e- !دون المرور بالمستشفى؟\u003cbr\u003e- دون المرور بالمستشفى.\u003cbr\u003e- هل يحاولون التخّفف من مصاريف العلاج؟\u003cbr\u003e- لا أظن المسألة كذلك، لقد قرّروا التخفّف ممن يشبهونهم إلى الأبد، بعد أن كانوا قد تخففوا ممن يختلفون عنهم في الماضي.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"عصير الكتب","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48342284304538,"sku":"9786140120266","price":49.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/files\/274088.jpg?v=1781675789"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9335\/7466\/collections\/WhatsApp_Image_2025-01-19_at_15.27.18_2.jpg?v=1737362351","url":"https:\/\/bookfanar.com\/en\/collections\/ibraheem-nasr-allah.oembed","provider":"Book Fanar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
