Discovering the sky

Author's name: Harry Moolishdar Publisher: Mamdouh Adwan Publishing Year of publication: 2024 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: On a cold night in the Netherlands, by chance, "Max Delius," an astronomer and lover of pleasure, meets "Ono Quest," a chaotic linguist who cannot tolerate the trivialities of daily life. From this meeting, a great friendship develops between them despite their stark differences, and after a short time, they discover that they were born on the same day of the same year, and that their lives intersected in an extraordinary moment with the cellist "Ada," from which a physical and spiritual fatherhood arises for a child with astonishing talents, who will be tasked by heaven with accomplishing a very strange mission. In this Faustian novel, full of surprises, we feel we are witnessing a grand mosaic painting, rich with discussions about astronomy, architecture, philosophy, art, religion, language, memory, and history... It is an epic novel that remains in the reader's mind for a long time after reading, offering him the opportunity to interpret it in multiple ways, and leaving him amazed by the author's encyclopedic culture and fertile imagination... How could it be otherwise, when he is one of the greatest Dutch novelists and thinkers?!
