The novel of the thresholds of joy Ibrahim Abdulmajid

The hero of "The Thresholds of Joy" is a man who has surpassed fifty years of age, contemplating his past life, conversing with himself and asking his lifelong friend and peer in age: Why does joy, whenever it comes close to us, stay away? His friend replies: Standing at the thresholds of joy is better than entering into joy itself; because if you enter it, it will kill you and destroy you. Thus, through a warm and exciting narration, the reader will accompany this fifty-year-old man on his journey in search of joy. The narrator, through the chapters of the novel, each beginning with two questions starting with how and why, wonders about matters he knows he will not find answers for; because the loss or absence of joy may happen once or twice in society and then pass, but in our country, whenever joy encounters us, it is lost and does not return, and we always have to search for it anew each time!
