Gassan Kanafani's messages to Ghada al-Samman

Author's name Ghada Al-Samman Number of pages 183 Publisher's description: Traditional love messages are (love letters) nothing more. But Gassan Kanafani's messages to Ghada Al-Samman are "human" letters in which deep friendship mixes with the language of the era and the pains of time. Friendship mixes with issues. That is why Gassan's messages came as a document of "Sane Love" if the phrase is correct. And when Ghada Al-Samman publishes Gassan's letters to her documented with the authenticity of these messages, she wants to tell us that Gassan, the stubborn fighter, carries within him a poet's heart that many wanted to distort his image, just as they distorted the images of fighters for the cause and labeled them terrorists and bandits. However, Gassan was a different kind of person. Love, both private and public, filled the arteries of his heart; therefore, Ghada Al-Samman's book includes these letters that slap the traditional view of the fighter. Description of Jilaan: A book carrying overwhelming words of love, in breath-taking words that reveal the tenderness in the personality of the martyr fighter! Quotes: "I will not forget, no... I simply tell you: I have never known anyone in my life like you, never, never. I have never approached anyone as I approached you, never, never. And so I will not forget you, no... You are a rare thing in my life... I started with you, and it seems to me that I will end with you." "Women exist once in a man's life, and likewise a man in a woman's life, and beyond that, there are only attempts at compensation." "My tragedy and your tragedy is that I love you more than I can hide and deeper than I can bury."
