Empty string

The novel Qashamar tells the story of four friends; their ambitions, setbacks, studies, marriage, children; friends who lived in Al-Abbasiya in Egypt during the monarchy when it was said that "In Egypt there are four religions; Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and the Wafd," and their friendships continued until Hosni Mubarak's rule. The friends fused with spiritual harmony that endured events and time, even the class disparity did not affect them. It is friendship in its perfection and eternity, five as one and one as five, from childhood to declining old age. "The saddest among us is the one whose life extends after the departure of others."
