A million floating words, a passage for the people of Noah

Author's name: Wagdy El-Komy

Through 12 short stories, Wagdy El-Komy, in his book "A Million Floating Words: A Bridge for Noah's People," takes us beyond historical and traditional events and takes us to European shores to examine an asylum application. The Prophet Noah appears, and his followers are granted political asylum. However, he, the prophet with the message, fails and is expelled from the country, as if disbelief was the fate of messengers in every time and place. The author pursues the epic, spanning layers of time, giving it another dimension through a story that branches out and delves into the human psyche. Between the Prophet Noah, who finally lands, and the characters who revolve around the human psyche—whether on land, in the sea, among trees, or even in spaceships that witnessed the demise of life as we know it—Wagdy El-Komy writes his tales and helps us float.
