'Jaffa trembles' book announced, inaugurated
Sana'a - Saba: Today, the Martyr Zaid Ali Musleh Foundation for Media and Cultural Production organized a book signing and launch event for the Yemeni novelist and writer Murad Shali, "Jaffa Trembles," at the Cultural House in Sana'a. During the signing and launch event, Minister of Youth and Sports Dr. Ali Al-Mawlid congratulated writer Murad Shali on the launch of his new book, "Jaffa Trembles," and the signing of the book. He described the book as a cultural, intellectual, and literary contribution that everyone is proud of. He said, "The writer Shali, the director of the Youth and Sports Office in Hajjah Governorate, belongs to the Youth and Sports Foundation. This is a source of pride, and we congratulate him on this achievement and encourage him to continue his contributions." He added, "These days, we see writers and authors who inspire hope that literature, writing, and poetry are being used in a genuine way, far removed from the many narratives that lack authenticity and do not serve our authenticity, environment, or identity." Minister Al-Muwallad emphasized the need to connect generations, readers, and youth to the nation's central cause. He said, "We want to connect our generations, our readers, our children, our youth, and our literature to our main cause. What's the point of writing love poetry when you see the enemy attacking you, besieging you, and starving you? He doesn't want good for you, and if he gets the better of you, he will kill you. This is the reality." He expressed his happiness at the presence of writers and poets who have begun to take a sound direction and make the right start in the cultural and literary field. At the ceremony, attended by the head of the General Book Authority, Abdul Rahman Murad, Raed Jabal, director of the Martyr Zaid Ali Musleh Foundation, explained that the launch and signing of the book "Jaffa Trembles" comes amid a sensitive phase in the nation's history, characterized by a comprehensive struggle at various political, military, cultural, economic, and other levels. He said, "This is a phase that requires us to have deep awareness and penetrating insight, given the major challenges, imminent dangers, and exposed conspiracies facing the Islamic nation, orchestrated by America and Israel." Jabal explained that the book recounts the nights of terror experienced by the occupiers in the city of Jaffa. It includes narrative documentation of the religious and military symbols of the Zionist entity's leaders, their beliefs and myths, the extent of their hatred, and the sources of their cowardice. It also highlights the landmarks of the city of Jaffa. He pointed out that the author began his narrative with the Battle of the Flood and its nights of terror, anticipating a response from the jihad and resistance front. He explained that the nation today is being targeted in its religion and worldly affairs, and is being subjected to a comprehensive attack that is not limited to weapons but extends to what is known as the soft war, which aims to mislead it intellectually and culturally, distort its value and moral system, undermine its loyalty and identity, and spread deviation, deception, and despair among its ranks. He addressed the brutal, unjust war and genocide being waged against our brothers in Gaza by the Zionist enemy, the Great Satan, America, and its allies from the infidel Western countries and the hypocritical and treacherous regimes. This war is accompanied by a misleading media campaign that attempts to divert attention from the heinous crimes committed against a defenseless people who represent an integral part of the nation. The director of the foundation emphasized the enemy's efforts to implement strategies and projects targeting the peoples of the nation, sowing division and discord, distancing the nation from its religion and the Quran, distorting the culture of jihad, dampening morale, and attempting to cover up its failures in the face of the steadfastness and resilience of the mujahideen in Gaza. Cultural activist Ali Jahez noted that writer and novelist Murad Shali, with his fresh style, demonstrated in this unique work, is forging a new path and establishing a new narrative school, in what appears to be a dynamic adaptation to the flood of changes that has swept the region, the repercussions of which have reached far and wide across the globe. He stated that the creative Murad Shali is working to bring about a significant and broad change in the deepest literary genre, namely narrative. He is influenced by fantasy that invades reality and the dramatic events that multiply within the confines of a dulled consciousness. He relies on his solid Quranic culture and wealth of knowledge, which informs the structures and narratives of his stories and the scenes he depicts in the space of each night of Jaffa. He said, "When we follow the tales of Jaffa Nights, which the creative Shali publishes from his resting place in the city of Hajjah, we did not expect the nights to be so long. However, the longer they are, the more challenging the narrator becomes, proving himself to be greater than the challenge by keeping pace with them and blending them into his amazing daily narrative forms." Jahez pointed out that this literary icon being celebrated today is the amazing pen whose first narrative book, dedicated to the Leader's Ramadan lectures of 1445 AH, was celebrated as the first narrative approach to reading Ramadan lectures in a new narrative style. He added, "The writer Murad Shali amazed us with his brilliance. What's even more amazing is that, as we prepare this work for printing, we anticipate Murad's new narrative for the Leader's Ramadan lectures of 1446 AH these days. It seems he is preparing to document a different phase of the confrontation with Zionism, the beginnings of which we are witnessing." The writer Murad Shali dedicated this book to the martyred leader Yahya Sinwar, the terror of the occupiers, and through him to all the martyrs of the Palestinian resistance and all the civilians martyred at the hands of the Israeli criminal machine. Through them, he also dedicated it to Gaza, the city of the free, the destination of steadfastness, and the icon of resistance. At the conclusion of the event, which was attended by a group of intellectuals, writers and cultural figures, the book was signed. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (Local)
