House of life

What remains for nations when their knowledge treasure is stolen? And what impact do manuscripts leave on empty shelves? Can the whiteness of paper carry a cry for help that motivates future generations to recover the stolen ink? And how many scars has the absence of the old heritage carved into the forehead of the present! "House of Life" is a novel that recounts one of the greatest losses in Moroccan history, the theft of the Zaidani library in the seventeenth century, amidst bloody conflicts between the heirs of the sultan over thrones that fade away, where knowledge that does not fade was lost in its context. Although it is tied to memory and history, it does not fade within them; rather, it bridges them to the present and future, extending the memory of pain, and its impact extends to all of us through the effect that art leaves on our tranquility. A novel that skillfully marries the realistic and the imaginary, the historical and the fantastical! From this union, a painfully visible image is born, crying over the loss of heritage, and aiming arrows at our chests, as we abandoned our treasure of knowledge and chased a treasure of gold, only to find ourselves with nothing but glitter, losing both treasures together.
