Arabian events

Author's name: Mohamed El-Mansi Qandil Publisher: Al-Shorouk Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2021 Literary classification: Short story collection About the book: Graves conceal bodies but spirits remain alive, free, filling the atmosphere around us and seeping into our living moments to tell their stories. History does not die, nor do its shadows stop shaping, kings and princes, poet knights, lovers of enchanting women, and farmers who do not stop planting and uprooting, sometimes surrounding us like a prison, and other times inspiring us with a deeper vision. History is passion, the essence of human experience, the realization that life does not end and hope does not cease. This book interrogates the spirits of ancestors and offers a basket full of their captivating stories, not belonging to the grand history with its well-known events, but delving behind the details of small history; the history of people who work in silence and die without a trace for the continuation of life's journey. All of this paints a sometimes joyful and sometimes tragic picture of all Arab eras, and ultimately leads us to Egypt, the mother of history, which lived through all its classes and paid a high price for its existence. This is a talented book for pure enjoyment, for clarity of soul and drawing lessons, stories like the heartbeat, and a style that contains the spirit of poetry.
