Witch Hunter

I found in your handling of magic a new dimension that no writer before you has touched upon, and your philosophical questions about its nature were truly remarkable. Indeed, a perplexing question: What is magic? What makes it magic and not something else, like an unknown science from earlier times? For example, in past centuries, chemistry was considered a form of magic. It was believed that the old witch had the ability to become young again. Today, any plastic surgeon can do that for anyone... The crystal ball through which the magician sees what is happening around him, isn't it the television? And what about the strange symbols and letters that make up the magical spell? What is the difference between them and complex physical and chemical equations? What makes this science, and that magic? Is magic the reliance on a hidden power like jinn, or is it everything that causes harm to the other party? Or both together? Does it mean that if someone can differentiate between a man and his wife through scheming and deception, without resorting to jinn, that is not magic? But magic only if a jinn is involved? Today, humans have reached through their minds horizons that, only a hundred years ago, were considered forms of magic, without resorting to jinn and spirits. Does that mean magic has disappeared and faded away after science replaced it? Many questions haunted me after reading your magnificent novel, which made me realize that I am in front of a talented novelist of a unique style who will reshape Arabic storytelling. And make it soar alongside world literature with all merit... The Witch Hunter Mandher Al-Qabani Book coordination: Paperback Language: Arabic Publication date: 2025 Number of pages: 207
