It is true that the joke has its own literature and rules in funny literature, but it is also true that it has deep roots in the lives of peoples that determine its general framework. By virtue of its targeting of a people, a sect of it, or an unknown or known person within it, it takes its general and current form, crystallized from “humorous” types. “It suits the era in which it was found, and it can be said: The general context of what is funny and what makes us sad does not change, but what changes is the mechanism of receiving them.
Al-Homsi, as one of the prominent figures in contemporary humorous literature, was targeted from the beginning and labeled a fool. Indeed, Ibn al-Jawzi classified him among “the absolute fools and fools.” Accordingly, the jokes were focused on the people of Homs later. For your information, what marked the people of Homs was created by important historical events that the city experienced.
Homs has fought a humorous ideological war throughout its history. This work examines the roots of the Homs joke without entering into an analysis of the jokes told about the people of Homs, except what is necessary to point out.
The events of this novel began at the end of the nineteenth century, specifically in the year 1882 AD, and continued until the present time. The novel contains reality and fantasy, even if reality dominates it more. I have selected a story from each verse, and put them all in this novel so that it is all the stories. And let the groans of the world gather in the heart of this family, for this is how fate intended, and this is how the days and years passed with a succession of events. The novel would not have occurred to me if it had not been for the fact that it had been inspired by a woman... a woman who is not like other women in my view... Yes, a woman to whom I owe great credit for taking my hand in writing this novel. She is a woman from the beautiful past, from the era of the Hollows and the Yamal. She is a woman who struggled to survive. To live, to continue her life’s journey with full strength... a woman who cannot be repeated in this time. She is my inspiration, and for her sake I decided to begin and continue the narration of this novel until the end.
