A piece of hell for this paradise

Author's name: Adel Mahmoud Publisher: Al-Takween for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2019 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: The novel is divided into 12 chapters with titles that have expressive connotations. In "Chapter of the Genius of Suffering," the author addresses the ongoing Syrian ordeal, indicating his pessimistic stance. Writing might be much harder than the task of that bird that tried to hold the sky with its small feet when it heard it would fall. And also more arduous than the task of the bird that tried to extinguish the burning forest instead of watering its thirsty chicks. Thus, Syrian poet Adel Mahmoud summarized in his latest novel a piece of hell for this paradise, the meaning of writing as a difficult and strenuous profession even under normal circumstances, so how about in conditions of death and war raging through the country. Adel Mahmoud, who has sadly completed his seventies, a correspondent of defeats as his friend Mamdouh Adwan used to call him, was forced after fifty years spent in writing to sell his role in the long mirage queue, the night of the country.
