The Endings - Abdulrahman Munif

About the book It is a deep lamentation of the melody for the paradise that remained present in the minds of the villagers, as their land became scarce, and their water decreased, and they cling to this beloved that they remember only tender, moist, fragrant with the scent of fruits and the perfume of roses, and alive with the melodies of singers and dancers. And the novelist, with this choice of the beautiful name for his village, Al-Taybah, no doubt implicitly reminds us that in Syria, Palestine, and Jordan there are many villages bearing this name. And if the matter of naming villages was left to their people, perhaps each village's people would have named their village Al-Taybah: for Al-Taybah combines the meaning of good taste, air, and character, with the meaning of permanence. So Al-Taybah is also the living, the alive. Year of publication 2016 Author name Abdulrahman Munif Number of pages 224
