The time of the white horses

About the book It is a story of a real people made of flesh and blood who lived on a real land with them, there is heritage and details more than can be counted and more than can be hidden by forgetfulness, and a presence full of noise, tension, joy, tragedies, and sorrows. An epic narrative says: The Palestinians have always been here, born here, lived here, died here, and continue to live.. And as always happens in Ibrahim Nasrallah's works, in this narrative, which you hear and see, the epic, the folk tale, oral testimony, song, and cinematic language all meet. Amidst this, the Palestinian popular daily life in villages and cities advances to occupy the broad and vibrant human scene, full of stories of heroism, love, life, death, betrayal, purity, mercy, and cruelty. Meanwhile, the mythology of horses illuminates the deepest corners of the characters' souls and the great values of a society full of vitality in its rituals, stories, and songs. And if every great narrative has its own law, then this narrative has its own vision in dealing with all of this. Quotes from the book I do not fight to win but so that my rights are not lost. It has never happened that a nation remains victorious forever. I fear only one thing: that we break forever, because he who breaks forever cannot rise again. Tell them to be careful not to be defeated forever. Do not go to a country where the water is good, but go to a country where the hearts of its people are pure. Do not go to a country fortified by walls, but go to a country fortified by friends. If the Jews lose, they will return to the lands they came from, but if we lose, we will lose everything. One day I will draw all of you, I will draw the living and the martyrs, and I will hold an exhibition that I tour across all of Palestine’s cities, one day, where there are no English and no Jewish colonizers.
