Birth of death

The birth of death by Hussein Kazem Al-Shabib ... The thing is known by its opposite, which is what the title of the novel (The Birth of Death) by Dr. Hussein Kazem Al-Shabib refers to, confirming the saying that the function of the narrative text is to shift consciousness to a pattern of opposite relationships. Through this floating sign, the novelist Al-Shabib creates new discourses in storytelling and seeks to establish them to reach the meaning he desires, and he will achieve this through two parallel stories. The first story is represented by "Azmirlda," born to "a human mother," and her birth became a curse that would corrupt the land, and after her kidnapping and revenge, it would lead to an inevitable war and death! The second story is represented by "Al-Noor bin Siraj," born to "a jinn mother," and his story also begins with his birth, which the village wise man called "The Birth of Death," predicting this because the birth occurred on a night with a red moon and under an orphan star, which is the worst thing that could happen to a newborn... When these two are grown, they will be gathered by the desert caravan and the sultan's palace. From there, their revenge will begin, and each of them will have a destined fate awaiting him... – From the novel's atmosphere, we read: "On a hot summer day, at the edge of one of the seven kingdoms, the old farmer raised his head, wiping sweat from his forehead with his strong forearm, which, despite the fatigue of the years, kept him vigorous due to his work on his farm, and the presence of his two daughters with him that day made him more lively than usual. Just looking at them was enough to draw a smile on his face, which was beginning to be covered with wrinkles of old age. He wiped his sweat again and returned to his work while the two daughters—"Instead of helping him as they should"—were playing in the farm, running around the well, among the trees and clusters. The older sister, at eighteen, of medium height, with long red hair, hazel eyes, and clear skin, was calling her younger sister: Azzi, stop, you'll fall into the well."
