الوعي النفسي مُكلِّف، وتكلفته قد تكون باهظة.. النمو مُخاطرة.. محسوبة وغير محسوبة.. الرحلة تُشبه المشي على الصراط.. أن تجتاز الجحيم، لتصل إلى جنة نفسك العامرة.. وعلى هذا الصراط، وفي تلك الرحلة.. هتعدي بمحطات مهمة وفارقة جدًّا.. محطة إنك تخرج عن النص القديم الموروث المتهالك.. اللي كتبه حد غيرك، وأصبح مش مناسب ليك
Alone on Baraway Island, Ingrid lives after everyone has left, roaming the ruins, repairing what can be repaired, and catching fish and bodies that wash up on the island's shores. The young woman struggles to hide a big secret that could put her in danger, as the country witnesses the final months of World War II.
In this novel, Roy Jacobsen completes the story of Barawe Island, which began with "The Invisibles", with his delicate narration, natural images, and brief sentences that hide the truest and hottest feelings behind them.
“White Sea” is a novel about new beginnings that make their way from the ashes of a devastating war, about friendships and love, the faces of those passing by and the dead, and about people who remain where they are in the face of war, bidding farewell to the departed and receiving those returning, and monitoring the passing of days and the succession of seasons.
Fifteen years after his military coup and his control of power, General Bionche decides to respond to popular and international pressure and hold a presidential referendum that determines his fate. The Minister of the Interior summons advertising expert and former detainee Adrian Bettini. To convince him to lead the campaign to make Pyoncé a success, the leader of the opposition coalition consisting of sixteen discordant parties proposes to Bettini a crazy idea: running the election campaign for the “No” campaign, which is embodied only in a short television advertisement.
Instead of the usual focus on the massacres, detainees, and the horrors of the past period, Bettini suggests that the title of the campaign be: Joy is Coming. Will a fifteen-minute announcement succeed in overthrowing a dictatorial rule that lasted fifteen years?
In an optimistic, poetic style, Scarmetta tells a true struggle story of hope and joy, in the darkest of times, in a country longing for freedom.
