If I embrace you, do not be afraid

Translation: Adnan Alain Type of Literature: Italian Literature Number of Pages: 349 pages Publisher: Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority The novel delves into the depths of the world of autism, a disease that affects a person, isolating them from the course of normal life and turning them into a being whose behavior does not conform to the prevailing way of life. It is a true story that narrates the events of a journey in the form of an adventure, undertaken by a man who does not heed the advice of doctors, accompanied by his son who is affected by autism. The book traces the son's behavior and impressions, along with the changes he faces in his daily life and the reactions of the people around him. At the same time, the book recounts the difficulties faced by the father, who tirelessly and diligently follows his son and ensures his safety, while also persistently searching for a glimmer of hope to improve his condition. The book does not explore the causes of the disease nor claim to offer effective solutions. Instead, it follows the footprints of the two men in American lands, capturing the beauty of the stunning nature and shedding light on the customs of different communities, glancing at the rituals and traditions prevalent. It delves into the inner thoughts and anxieties of the father and his son, both longing for a miracle.
