My life with hunger and love and war - 2 volumes

Because of the blockade and fear of hunger, a large number of the people of Medina were displaced to Syria and other areas still under Ottoman control. The family of Aziz Diya was among those. There, the family suffered, like others, a harsh life: hunger, cold, disease that was claiming people's lives, so they were gathered in carts and buried in mass graves... By the end of the World War, the family had lost four of its members, and only Aziz and his mother remained. The mother decided to return to the city, where she found her house empty and everything stolen. A new phase of hardship began, which only ended with the conclusion of another war that ended the rule of Sharif Hussein and his sons. Aziz Diya narrates to the reader his life story, which is the story of Medina, in simple beautiful language, presenting a period of history as experienced by that child and his peers. It is the story of hunger, war, love, dreams, and hopes. It is accompanied by the story of the struggle that Aziz, the young man, fought. Through this story, we learn about life in that era filled with events and changes that led to the establishment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We also learn about customs and traditions, the way of life, food, and social relations in a diverse society where Arabs live alongside Turks, Indians, Kazakhs, and Bukharians... It is the story of awakening to life amid ruins and debris... Just as a lonely flower blooms in an abandoned field... I was also like this flower... I was blooming for life with strength, despite the ruins and debris surrounding me. Book information: Author: Diya Aziz. Year of publication: 2012 Publisher: Al Tanweer Number of pages: 809
