It is rare today that we do not find in explanations and comments on the book of the Old Testament multiple references to archaeological sites, such as Qumran near the Dead Sea and Ugarit on the Syrian coast near the city of Latakia. The Qumran site has become a well-known name to some extent, while the site of Ugarit, which is no less important, did not enjoy the fame that Qumran enjoyed, even though its discovery contributed greatly to re-translating and interpreting many of the words and passages of the Old Testament. This is what prompted me to write this small book that examines the civilization of the ancient city of Ugarit and its legacy. Ugarit was one of many cities that filled the world of the Bible, but its importance lies in the wealth of literary texts that added a lot to our information about the world of the Bible, to a degree that exceeded what any other archaeological site in the eastern Mediterranean provided, and helped fill the gaps between the world. The ancient and modern world.
Moving between the ancient markets of Aleppo and the bars of Berlin, the hero of the novel “Berlin Papers” rediscovers himself time after time, opens his hands to various experiences and new people, and listens closely waiting for someone to tell him a new story so that he can write it down. We see him escaping from a failed love story through exploration. The history of Germany in the two world wars: the first and the second, to get lost in memories, pictures, and maps, between western and eastern Aleppo and between western and eastern Berlin, and to flip through the paintings of the German painter Otto Dix, which embodied the ugliness of the First World War; In order to forget the images of destruction and killing that were preserved in his memory.
In his novel, Nihad Siris moves lightly between places, people, and events, within one flowing text, and his work hides behind a documentary character that explores the history of wars and city architecture, and then surprises the reader with an unexpected dose of imagination about marvels and supernatural powers that help people overcome the scourges of war by escaping towards... New beginnings.
Can a person escape from a war in his country by diving into the history of another war that took place in another time and place?
Its intellectual value. Russell was committed throughout his life to working to change the world in which he lived, and to addressing the public in a clear, rational manner. This is one of the intellectual virtues of philosophy: explaining, clarifying, simplifying, and opening the way for everyone to participate in the process of changing the world. The articles revolve around three axes: First, freedom: Throughout his life, Russell defended freedom of expression in the face of extreme religious and nationalist beliefs. His battle was to defend freedom of expression regardless of the oppressive force. This basic principle was one of the focuses of his thinking about politics and ethics. Secondly, religion: Russell criticized the Bolsheviks’ suppression of believers, and he also criticized the religious people’s suppression of atheists. His position on religion stems from a principled commitment to freedom of expression and faith. Third, rationalism and philosophy: Russell defended rationalism throughout his life, and refused to believe in any issue or opinion that was not supported by evidence in a clear, rational manner. On the other hand, mainly following Hume, Russell holds that reason has limits, and that the rationalist position also requires that we accept that our understanding of the world is limited by the limits of reason

Seasons:
Miniatures that tell seasons of feeling... are small prose texts
Every miniature says a lot...
For everyone who suffers from distress and boredom due to excessive chatter...
Whose imagination cannot contain enough words...
Whoever is certain one day that the best words...
With it, I will pass the seasons of indulgence to the point of escape
