تبدأ الرواية بجملة للكاتب ألبرت شفايتزر ( نعيش في عالم خطير فالإنسان حكم الطبيعة قبل أن يتعلم كيف يحكم نفسه ). رواية من وحي الخيال تدعو للإحسان للنبات،،
«دليل السلام» لحنان السماك هو بلسم القلوب المركّز في ثمانين حكمة ناصعة، تُرشد من ينشد السكينة إلى جادة الصفاء. لا هو كتابٌ تقني، بل مرجعٌ ظلّي للقلب. يمنحك دفعة نحو تقبّل الذات، فتح أبواب الرحمة الداخلية، ومهارة السمو فوق الزوابع اليومية
In a time when speech has no value, Younes decided to remain silent.
What is the benefit of what he says when he is weak, strange, and free from the constraints of twenty-six years that he spent in a world of fear, loneliness, and near death?!!
Wherever he went and wherever he moved, he was pursued by curses and oppression. Even his attempts to search for a part of his precious past with his wife and son were useless...!
In his relationship with “Abu Al-Rish,” he felt some reassurance from all the alienation that nestled in his heart, but that was not enough for him to find stability and end his torment and loneliness!!
The new circumstances of the country, and the changes in the government, increase his flight and confusion, despite his attachment to all the good people who surrounded him during his ordeal.
“Younes” who longed for everything... nothing saved him!!
