Rowing in the right of the roots, authored by Ibrahim Al-Koni

"Rowing in the right of the roots," a book that contains visionary and contemplative axes, and philosophical manifestations distributed between fragments and interventions in conferences, and interviews in Arab and international newspapers. According to the publisher: the desert as space, horizon, vision, and contemplation, has always remained the obsession of the universe and its main beloved theme, in his narrative works, in his articles, and in his lectures. Even while living in Europe, Ibrahim Al-Koni does not leave his atmospheres, but this time he stands at their borders in an attempt to examine his experience from the inside and the characteristics of his narrative adventure. To write about the desert, while residing in the Swiss Alps, is as if the visual stock of the first place never leaves its owner no matter how far the distance. And about the book, the Syrian writer Khalil Souailh says: Ibrahim Al-Koni, a prolific writer, but that did not prevent his works from gaining critics' approval and readers' eagerness to read them. One of the most beautiful things I have read for him is the novel "Bleeding of the Stone," which starts from an event rooted in human history, occurring daily across various parts of the world, which is the crime of humans killing their brothers. In this novel, Al-Koni managed to blend the mythical and the realistic, placing us in front of contradictions in values and morals within human souls. The novel begins with a noble verse from Surah Al-An'am: "And there is no creature on earth or bird that flies with its wings except that they are communities like you." Number of pages: 240
