When we were orphans

This exquisite novel gives us a strong feeling of the complexity of the world and the human being, but it also leaves in our memory its empathy with the attempt of its hero to defeat evil, and his perseverance in discovering the mystery of his past, and his pride in this journey whether through memory or places. It is a novel about the vast distance between beginnings and ends, and between childhood and maturity. "When We Were Orphans" by Nobel laureate 2017 Kazuo Ishiguro, which was published years ago in translation by Tahir Al-Barbari from the National Center for Translation, does not differ much from his novels narrated by one person, which rediscover this novelist's world and life anew, after many complex experiences; it is almost the same amazing game: a person whose knowledge and ideas have settled, who lived a long and rich life, but distant memory makes him redefine those certainties, and reconsider all his ideas, ultimately believing that life is more intertwined and complex, and that he dealt with his life with an almost childish simplicity.
