Ben Yuda Street

About the book When "Ali Ghalib" stood on the balcony of his room on the seventh floor of the "Jordan Inn" hotel in Tel Aviv, watching Ben Yehuda Street crowded with "Independence Day" celebrations; a picture of his father in a brief handshake with Gamal Abdel Nasser, and Alexei Kosygin, came to his mind, his image as a prisoner in Atlit Prison near this hotel, his uncle "Ezz Al-Arab" missing in Yemen. And although he was in Israel, he was aware that his back was burdened with the history of the Ghalib family, the story engraved like a tattoo on layers of his tortured soul. And despite his body being near Ben Yehuda Street, his spirit remained flying far across time and space to recall the surreal events of the Ghalib family story, a family whose characters and tales are linked to the story of a whole nation.
