Saturn rings

Author's name: F.J. Zibaldar Publisher: Dar Al-Tanweer for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2019 Literary classification: Historical articles About the book: "Saturn's Circles" narrates with its archive of strange images the events of a walking journey undertaken by Zibaldar along the eastern coast of England. In this semi-deserted area that has witnessed fleeting periods of prosperity over the ages, which are quickly replaced by misery and destruction, the author digs up strange stories, fates, and outcomes that intersect with his journeys through memory across the tragedies of modern and contemporary history. Fascinated by the transformations of things, the narrator observes the transmigration of entire worlds but notes that destruction "casts its shadow on every new form." The painting "The Anatomy Lesson" by Rembrandt, the childhood of Joseph Conrad, author of "Heart of Darkness," the life and works of the doctor obsessed with the secrets of the universe Thomas Brown, the life of Edward FitzGerald, translator of the Rubaiyat, the Opium War, the Empress Dowager, the end of the Chinese empire, the memoirs of Chateaubriand, and other strange news stories—all are stories woven with silk threads, like those wrapping around the cocoon of the silkworm, which plays a central role in this book.
