Paperback. Between the suffocating silence of an abyss and the gleaming corridors of palaces where desire is wielded like an empire, lies the fragile boundary between revelation and memory, possession and freedom.Walah: Alif Lam Ra is an expansive literary journey that reimagines inherited archetypes not as static relics of the past, but as a living mirror reflecting the rawest corners of the human condition. Moving seamlessly through the scorched wilderness of Harran, the shifting politics of ancient Egypt along the life-giving Nile, and the cold stillness of stone chambers where captivity becomes an unexpected sanctuary, the novel weaves a layered, polyphonic tapestry. Through shifting perspectives-the agonizing insight and blindness of Jacob, the quiet grief of Rachel, the unspoken fractures within Leah, the burning envy and guilt of the brothers, the unyielding obsession of Zulaykha, and Yusuf's enduring search for inner deliverance-the narrative exposes the intimate friction of family, succession, and longing.Mustafa Awad delivers a bold, mythic-historical work that moves far beyond conventional retelling, confronting timeless existential inquiries: Who truly owns a body under the weight of power? Can love survive when it turns into the will to possess? And how does an unbroken faith endure within the shadow of profound betrayal?Written with lyrical resonance and psychological depth, Walah: Alif Lam Ra is an unforgettable contemplation of descent and return, standing at the charged threshold between sacred echoes and the uncharted depths of the human spirit. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
