Violation Of A Letter

Revealing The Sick Self

Imitating feelings and emotions and their impact on oneself is the most difficult representation that one can express. Letters in the presence of sorrows practice the temptation of equivocation and concealment, evading cunningly so as not to get involved in blogging, and blogging is the awakening of memory if the skill is refined.

Complexity is a prominent human characteristic, not only in behaviors, emotions, actions, and responses, but also in trying to understand and comprehend them, and the most complex is the attempt to translate them on paper that desperately refuses to defeat the whiteness of its pages.

We do not know where the betrayal comes from, is it from our surroundings or from our dark insides? Or from an undeclared alliance between the fragility of feelings and the growing confidence? But what is certain is that it results from a vast and incomprehensible void in human relations.

Through this text that falls within the literature of self-reflection, we try to dissect human suffering resulting from betrayal, and portray contradictory feelings, and conflicting feelings, by diving into the mysteries of the ailing self, and its reflection on reality, and monitoring its exciting paradoxes, socially, economically and morally. A discussion of human wounds that refuse to heal.

Bin Arraf

You live on the ground, so days will go by you for a long time in your view (only an illusion). Everything in the road calls you and sends you signals that point you in the walking direction and the right way. You find signs on every road pointing you where you want to go, and signs to cross, stop, slow down or change direction. Alia followed the example of my path and your path, and many signs stopped her. She even began to identify them and harmonize with them, and perhaps harmonize and understand the meanings of the signs of life in order to answer many questions that were hidden. Then she left with the range spreading in front of her eyes on her trip to the Badia. If you, dear reader, are excited by the signs of life, learning through the stories, penetrating the worlds, and have the curiosity to know them and to succeed in deciphering the mystery of life, then I promise you that you will enjoy with us the flow between the lines of Alia’s journey to the Badia, stay with it!

Scattering Yam

Life has its moments…
Some of them we have surpassed, and others we have not yet overcome.
A few of them we have crossed, and many of them we have not dared to pursue.
Here, I have gone through many of them, wishing for an outlet to pour out what is within me.
I found nothing interesting except for letters that I strived to write.
Perhaps what is written here does not touch your heart or your mind, but I wished for it to be a gentle spirit that touches a letter and sends kindness.
So, be gentle with me.

Imprint In A Drop

The book is varied between literature and philosophy, in-depth with psychology, history and other sciences as part of philosophy, and takes a two-edged curve and two sides of the same coin, and shows us that reading is the basis, and the Arabic language is the mother of languages, and it drowns us in letters of Abjad Hawwas, so that matters are based on the content and not the general meaning for the letter. The letter “A, Alif” may not mean “A” sometimes. Rather, it may be a light that illuminates the darkness and drives away oppression. And the letter “B, Baa” may not contain the letter at the end of the word (love "Hobb"), and it can differentiate it from love. And the letter “J, Jiim” may take us to the quackery, and it is in the middle of the word, it proves that the claim of knowledge is not related to knowledge itself, and knowledge takes away the spirit of ignorance. And with that comes the letter “D, Del”, it makes us see that proverbs and wisdom are only part of literature and philosophy that I see as two eyes in one head. And from HWZ we may see that space, galaxies and the universe are not related to the letter (H, Haa), and yet it is as easy as pronouncing the “H”, the beauty of the letter “H”, and that is what distinguishes it. And the “W, Waaw” when it speaks the splendor of art, delves into drawing, and mediate music to show us that beauty comes in many forms. Until we reach to the letter “Z, Zai”, we see that it is the end like death, but what if death had another side, like a coin with which to bet? We will find from here that there is another aspect of death called life, and we will see from it that the extent we see is not only what we see, but we must dive to drowning to discover that everything is connected to each other, and from here to here I chose two pages that I called a site and a reality with which I introduce myself to readers.

Bloomed

When the heart blushed with love and gratitude, when life does not spare it dream-like moments, then life picks for us the most beautiful harvests of destiny.

Then how can a spring not pass through the heart? How can autumn not pass through the heart? When those we love dry up, and names that meant life to us fall from the sky of the heart, carrying with them in the folds of memory moments that were written with rose water.

How can winter not pass through the heart? When you are alone and cold, they think you are empty, dull, and indifferent, and you, whose heart was full of life, companionship, and love, have been repeatedly let down to the point that you have become extremely sensitive to delving into any relationship.

How can a summer not pass through the heart when warmth surrounds us and the destinies of God surround us, so we calm down and relax?

Seasons pass through our hearts, shaping us, shaping our moods and the features of our relationships, changing the curvature of our lips, caressing us at times, and ravaging us at other times.

Narration Techniques In The Book ‘One Thousand And One Nights’

The book deals with the history of the book, One Thousand and One Nights, and the extent of its influence on the most prominent Western writers and literary works after it was fully published in the West through its translation in the early nineteenth century. The book also deals with translations of One Thousand and One Nights into English in particular, and the extent of its reliability and its proximity or distance from the original text. The book also deals with narration techniques in One Thousand and One Nights, and the precedence of these techniques to appear on the literary scene. However, these techniques were not referred to in the West, especially during the emergence of the narrative techniques called “The tale of the tale-, Metafiction”, which Western literary theory considers a product of the sixties and seventies of the last twentieth century. The book provides a full explanation of what the “tale of the tale” is, and an explanation of its various techniques, and its theorizing (entering the path of Western literary theory). It deals with the most prominent Western writers who have adopted some of the different applications of the “tale of the tale”. It mentions the most prominent critics who have studied “fairytale” techniques. The book also reviews the literary career and development of the Egyptian writer, Naguib Mahfouz, and discusses his condensed short novel, The Nights of a Thousand Nights, because the book One Thousand and One Nights represents the base and origin of Mahfouz’s novel, in addition to Mahfouz’s adoption of a number of techniques for narrating the original Book of Nights and its characters. Naguib Mahfouz’s novel is a modern novel that adopts the techniques of “tale of the story.” The book reviews the literary career of North American writer, John Barth, and how it was affected by the narration techniques in One Thousand and One Nights, and the character of Scheherazade in particular. The book discusses John Barth’s collection, Ten Nights and a Night: Eleven Stories, and how they relate to the original Nights book and its techniques. The book ends with a call to expand the scope of Western literary theory to include international books such as One Thousand and One Nights due to its tremendous influence on world literature, the uniqueness of narration techniques in it, and the precedence of their appearance.

My Heart's Words

The loss exhausts her heart so much from any pain she faced, the news of her death had stabbed her heart, she was not prepared to accept this shock when her mother died without any warning and leaving her alone in this scary world. It was difficult for her to bear that shock, she no longer feels the joy and happiness as she used to feel before, she is living in a homeless reality. Perhaps she still did not accept the shock; That's why she was writing what her heart feels of moaning and nostalgia.
