| Book Description | Falcon of Quraish By Karam Melhem Karam ... In the heart of political chaos and conspiracies emerges the star of Abd al-Rahman ibn Muawiyah, also known as Abd al-Rahman I and Falcon of Quraish. As one of the greatest figures in Arab history, Falcon of Quraish is a historical epic that tells the journey of this Umayyad prince from persecution and pursuit to building a new empire in Andalusia. The writer Karam Melhem Karam transports us to a turbulent world, where Abd al-Rahman struggles with enemies and friends alike, and faces unprecedented challenges to achieve his dreams of restoring the glory of the Umayyad state. In this novel, feelings of love and betrayal, strength and weakness, hope and despair intertwine in a suspenseful historical narrative that captivates the reader from the first page to the last. |
| About the Author | Karam Melhem Karam, the Lebanese journalist, short story writer and critic, from Deir al-Qamar, is considered one of the most prominent figures in Arabic literature thanks to his abundant and diverse contributions. He received his education at the Marist Brothers Institute in his town and then in Jounieh, which opened the doors for him to literary innovation and join the League of Ten. Despite his bleating with the letter “r,” he continued to give lectures and speeches, preserving his local and national identity. In 1923, he founded the magazine "A Thousand and One Nights", which published more than a thousand stories and short novels with a local flavour. In 1932, he launched the weekly newspaper "Al-Asifa", which was concerned with politics and literature. Despite their temporary cessation due to the war, Karam continued to write and publish, expressing his national, social and political positions without flattery. As a creative storyteller, Karam drew inspiration for his themes from the society around him, presenting novels with a realistic character and translating stories from French literature to suit local taste. His short stories, such as "The Cry of Pain" and "The Falcon of Quraish", were characterised by a romantic style and refined language with grandeur in expression and precision in description. The critic Maroun Abboud considered Karam one of the founders of the art of the story in Arabic literature, emphasizing his role in presenting literary experiences that reflect the Eastern identity and meet the tastes of the Arab reader. |
