Where an Arab ruler tries to save his people from destruction but cannot save them from themselves. When violence spreads like a plague across the lands of Palestine–this is the time of The Haj. Libro The Haj.
Naja –
As I scribble through the comments on this book, I couldn’t find any Arab person who’ve read it and commented on it.. and that in itself tells you something.
Being an Arab myself, I felt extremely sad about the misery of our race in the last century. Facing our brutal facts as Arabs is the only way to hope for a change and a better future. Although my country wasn’t as devastated as Palestine, but I think we had our take of religious wars and sacred illusions where religion mixed with politics and corrupted the entire nation.
This book, and although it is very harsh to read, is a true representation of the story of what happened at that time. It also gives a great description of the Arab character. Although now its quite different, some villages and rural areas are still stuck in the stagnation of the past century.
It is highly recommended for all my Arab friends and for those who are interested in the historian and cultural knowledge of the middle east in the last century.
