All beautiful things that can be broken

In each and every one of us there is something from the hero of this novel, which departs from the beginning of beginnings, not only to contemplate it but to contemplate us today. A novel written with insight about the tragedy of leaving paradise, with the pain of tragedy at times and black satire at other times, for we are all products of that first tragedy, and each of us has a share of it: thus, Adam and Eve are not behind us, but with us here in the twenty-first century, as if what is happening today is what they experienced, or as if we are their memory and their woman. How can the (now) be a memory of the past, just as the past is a memory for each (individual), that is what Ibrahim Nasrallah presents in this timeless novel, far from the sternness of writing about tragedies, with laughter resembling crying, and crying that contains many features of laughter. It is a journey into human beings as much as it is a journey through times, where the omniscient narrator, with all his knowledge, appears in this remarkable trilogy that bears his name, where thousands of years separate the events of the first part from those of the second, which was published under the title "Wind Traps." Each part of the trilogy of the omniscient narrator seems independent, but understanding the meaning will not be complete without residing in the three successive stations, for there are two parallel rivers crossing the entire trilogy. The river of humanity with its transformations, and the river of the omniscient narrator with his transformations as well. And before and after all this, it is a journey to reclaim our ability to be amazed and to restore beauty before it fades.
