Strange of the homes

The book The Prince Part Two Gharib al-Diyar "The Prince Book. The Paths of the Gates of Iron" 2005, achieved wide readership. Considered the first fictional novel about Prince Abdul Qadir. Shortly after its publication, it received two major awards: the Librarians' Award (2006), granted to the most read book, and the Sheikh Zayed Book Award (2007). And the novelist's bet, writing a second part of this heroic and humanitarian epic, remained a lasting dream. After twenty years of research, perseverance, and travels, this second part of The Prince: [Gharib al-Diyar] was completed, in which Wassini continues the prince's ordeal in exile, and his confrontation with successive injustices, from the Amboise prison in France, to the Bursa exile in Turkey, before settling in the Levantine exile, which witnessed pivotal moments in his life: his protection of Christians in Damascus in 1860 from the massacre, his dialogue with Masonic leaders, and his integration into the Sufism of Sheikh al-Akbar Muhyiddin ibn Arabi, in which he debated with scholars of Damascus, and worked on his manuscript "Futuhat al-Makkiyya". In the final chapter of his life, he was buried beside his Sufi teacher and sheikh. The personality of Prince Abdul Qadir penetrated the entire nineteenth century. A century of wars and harsh colonizations that created a large part of our tragedies and maps today. The prince did not only live through his era, but he worked to change it, and the cost was high.
