Book Description | Al-Jablawi lives in his large house surrounded by gardens and high walls, surrounded by his sons and grandchildren who are fighting over the endowment, while the bullies control the neighborhood and stand between Al-Jablawi's sons and his earthly paradise, where the descendants have settled outside the walls of the large house since Adham and Idris were expelled. Despite their poverty and the injustice they are subjected to, they do not lose hope that Al-Jablawi will emerge from his isolation to distribute his inheritance and free them from the brutality of the bullies. In every generation, a savior appears to whom people cling and with whom they revolt against injustice, but greed and ignorance ultimately return them to what they were. The novel was published in Al-Ahram newspaper in 1959 and sparked a great deal of controversy, which caused its publication as a book to be delayed for eight years. |
