Self-Narration

The publication of the book "Self-Narration" in 2009 was an eagerly awaited event for many followers and intellectuals, not just in Sharjah or the UAE. Their motivation was an urgent desire to draw from the intellectual, literary, and life spring of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council of the Federation and Ruler of Sharjah. In "Self-Narration," Sheikh Dr. Sultan speaks about himself as an ambitious young man, with all the dreams, adventures, frustrations, and hopes that the word "youth" encompasses. He is unvarnished and unapologetic, despite having the power of the pen in his hand. However, the audacity of speaking about the life he lived exactly as it was makes "Self-Narration" closer to the reader's heart and grants the book respect, appreciation, and standing, with all its emotions, impulses, honesty, transparency, and frankness in presentation. Sheikh Dr. Sultan's generation, as well as the generations of parents and grandparents, will discover the truth from its various angles in "Self-Narration." Before them are lines that recount the full details of the picture, events written with detachment and historical honesty by a person who lived them from within.
