]]> الطلياني 24464806

ربّما كان ذلك بعض ما جعل طريقيهما يفترقان في أكثر الأيّام، ولكنّهما يلتقيان في لحظة لا يعرفان سرّها.


واعترفت زينة بأنّ الطلياني يمكن أن تراه في لحظات غضبه كجحيم "دانتي" أو سقوط "أورفيوس"،


ولكنّها تراه في لحظات شهوته عاشقًا هنديًّا مستعدًّا للموت عشقًا. لقد كان شهوة موقوتة لا تعرف متى تنفجر ولا تترك في الجسد مكانًا لا تصله الحروق اللّذيذة أو الشّظايا القاتلة..


لم تصارح زينة عبد النّاصر برأيها هذا فيه. وهو كذلك لم يفعل. بيد أنّ في المسألة شيئًا دقيقًا عميقًا لم تتمكّن من فهمه. فقد كانت تأخذها في البداية سكرة ممزوجة برعدة كأنّها في حالة شطح للذّوبان في جسد عبد النّاصر والانصهار الكلّي فيه. جسده حقل مغناطيس بهيّ ينوّم الحواس ويستنفرها في الآن نفسه. يذهب بالعقل فتتخدّر الأعضاء كلّها. يجعلها تشعر في آن واحد بألم لا يُطاق ولذّة لا توصف. فتستسلم وترضخ. بيد أنّها حالَمَا تثوب إلى رشدها لا يبقى إلاّ ألَمٌ حادٌّ مروّع في أحشائها أسفل البطن، كأنّ إبَرًا غليظةً تنخرها من الدّاخل وتحرّكها يد خفيّة تظلّ تحفر وتحفر ولا تتوقّف.]]> 342 شكري المبخوت 9938886485 Salma 4 2.94 2014 الطلياني

رابط التحميل:



This book, Al-Fawaid: A Collection of Wise Sayings is one of the well-known compilations of Imam Shams Ad-Dm Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah, who is well known by the name Ibn Al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him).

This blessed book is not like others that simply contain sections, chapters and themes, but it consists of the elevated thoughts that Allah, Exalted be He, bestows upon some of His servants as He wills. So whenever any of these scattered pearls of wisdom occurred to the Imam, he would immediately record them.

I am sure that he did not sit down and write this book in one or two weeks, but surely it was developed over a long period of time. Whenever something came to his mind, he would record it, and whenever he learnt a lesson or anything crucial in his life, he would illuminate the lines of his page with the ink of his pen.]]> 304 Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya Salma 0 to-read 4.52 1979 الفوائد

]]> <![CDATA[Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid]]> 9345 Following his #1 New York Times bestseller, Our Endangered Values, the former president, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, offers an assessment of what must be done to bring permanent peace to Israel with dignity and justice to Palestine.

President Carter, who was able to negotiate peace between Israel and Egypt, has remained deeply involved in Middle East affairs since leaving the White House. He has stayed in touch with the major players from all sides in the conflict and has made numerous trips to the Holy Land, most recently as an observer in the Palestinian elections of 2005 and 2006.

In this book, President Carter shares his intimate knowledge of the history of the Middle East and his personal experiences with the principal actors, and he addresses sensitive political issues many American officials avoid. Pulling no punches, Carter prescribes steps that must be taken for the two states to share the Holy Land without a system of apartheid or the constant fear of terrorism.

The general parameters of a long-term, two-state agreement are well known, the president writes. There will be no substantive and permanent peace for any peoples in this troubled region as long as Israel is violating key UN resolutions, official American policy, and the international “road map� for peace by occupying Arab lands and oppressing the Palestinians. Except for mutually agreeable negotiated modifications, Israel’s official pre-1967 borders must be honored. As were all previous administrations since the founding of Israel, US government leaders must be in the forefront of achieving this long-delayed goal of a just agreement that both sides can honor.

Palestine Peace Not Apartheid is a challenging, provocative, and courageous book.]]> 288 Jimmy Carter 0743285026 Salma 0 to-read 3.92 2006 Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid

Thaler and Sunstein invite us to enter an alternative world, one that takes our humanness as a given. They show that by knowing how people think, we can design choice environments that make it easier for people to choose what is best for themselves, their families, and their society. Using colorful examples from the most important aspects of life, Thaler and Sunstein demonstrate how thoughtful “choice architecture� can be established to nudge us in beneficial directions without restricting freedom of choice. Nudge offers a unique new take—from neither the left nor the right—on many hot-button issues, for individuals and governments alike. This is one of the most engaging and provocative books to come along in many years.]]> 293 Richard H.

People have been predicting the end of the world almost from its very beginning, so it’s only natural to be sceptical when a new date is set for Judgement Day. This time though, the armies of Good and Evil really do appear to be massing. The four Bikers of the Apocalypse are hitting the road. But both the angels and demons � well, one fast-living demon and a somewhat fussy angel � would quite like the Rapture not to happen.

]]> Winter's Tale 12967 New York City is subsumed in arctic winds, dark nights, and white lights, its life unfolds, for it is an extraordinary hive of the imagination, the greatest house ever built, and nothing exists that can check its vitality. One night in winter, Peter Lake, orphan and master-mechanic, attempts to rob a fortress-like mansion on the Upper West Side.

Though he thinks the house is empty, the daughter of the house is home. Thus begins the love between Peter Lake, a middle-aged Irish burglar, and Beverly Penn, a young girl, who is dying.

Peter Lake, a simple, uneducated man, because of a love that, at first he does not fully understand, is driven to stop time and bring back the dead. His great struggle, in a city ever alight with its own energy and besieged by unprecedented winters, is one of the most beautiful and extraordinary stories of American literature.

]]> The Plague 11989
It tells the story from the point of view of a narrator of a plague sweeping the French Algerian city of Oran. The narrator remains unknown until the start of the last chapter, chapter 5 of part 5. The novel presents a snapshot of life in Oran as seen through the author's distinctive absurdist point of view.

The book tells a gripping tale of human unrelieved horror, of survival and resilience, and of the ways in which humankind confronts death, The Plague is at once a masterfully crafted novel, eloquently understated and epic in scope, and a parable of ageless moral resonance, profoundly relevant to our times. In Oran, a coastal town in North Africa, the plague begins as a series of portents, unheeded by the people. It gradually becomes an omnipresent reality, obliterating all traces of the past and driving its victims to almost unearthly extremes of suffering, madness, and compassion.

The Plague is considered an existentialist classic despite Camus' objection to the label. The novel stresses the powerlessness of the individual characters to affect their destinies. The narrative tone is similar to Kafka's, especially in The Trial, whose individual sentences potentially have multiple meanings; the material often pointedly resonating as stark allegory of phenomenal consciousness and the human condition.]]> 308 Albert Camus Salma 0 to-read 4.05 1947 The Plague

But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.

True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.

Before The Firm and The Pelican Brief made him a superstar, John Grisham wrote this riveting story of retribution and justice. In this searing courtroom drama, best-selling author John Grisham probes the savage depths of racial violence, as he delivers a compelling tale of uncertain justice in a small southern town, Clanton, Mississippi.

The life of a ten-year-old girl is shattered by two drunken and remorseless young men. The mostly white town reacts with shock and horror at the inhuman crime. That is, until her black father acquires an assault rifle and takes matters into his hands.

For ten days, as burning crosses and the crack of sniper fire spread through the streets of Clanton, the nation sits spellbound as young defense attorney Jake Brigance struggles to save his client's life, and then his own.]]> 738 John Grisham Salma 0 4.11 1989 A Time to Kill (Jake Brigance, #1)

]]> أحببتك أكثر مما ينبغي 7119070 تبدأ الكاتبة السعودية روايتها بنفس المقطع الذي تنتهي به، لتروي بينهما قصة "جمانة" و"عزيز" التي "لن تنتهي!".

تبوح المرأة بتفاصيل مشاعرها تجاه الرجل الذي تحب، والأهم أنها تحاول التعبير عن حالتها الذهنية في تناقضها الحتمي مع حالة الحب الذي تكنّ. فالشرخ الذي يولّد عذابات جمة لا دواء لها، لا بد قائم بين عقلها وقوة مشاعرها، وعطائها الذي لا حدود له للمحبوب: "كنت على استعداد لأن أصغر فتكبر..لأن أفشل لتنجح، لأن أخبو لتلمع.."، ونوعية حبها الذي لا يقدره بل يتجاهله أو يقوم باستغلاله لصالح أهداف أقل أهمية منه بكثير، وأقل قيمة. "ما زلت لا أدرك، لا أدرك كيف يتلاعب رجل بامرأة تحبه من دون أن يخاف للحظة مما يفعله نحوها!"

في كل مرة و"بعد كل خيبة أمل.. بعد كل محنة وكل نزوة.. كنت أحاول لملمة أجزائي لنفتح مجدداً صفحة بيضاء أخرى.."، لكن "البدايات الجديدة ما هي إلا كذبة".

تستعيد الكاتبة ذكرياتها معه منذ البداية في مقهى خارج الوطن الذي غادرته للدراسة: "الوطن الذي لو لم أغادره لما حدث كل هذا.. أتكون أنت عقابي على مغادرة وطن أحبني!.."، وفكرة العقاب والثواب التي يسخر منها عزيز، تؤمن هي بها: "مؤمنة أنا بيوم الحساب أكثر من أي شيء،" لأنها تأمل عبرها أن ينال عزيز عقابه على ما اقترفه بحقها.

قالت لهما العجوز الهندية غريبة الأطوار، دون سابق معرفة: "هي متعبة منك..منك فقط..وأنت متعب من كل شيء.."، وقالت لها "هيفاء" صديقتها الكويتية التي تتخاصم دائما وعزيز، بأنه لا يستحقها، وتقول جمانة له اليوم "حبي لك كان أعمى يا عزيز..وأن هيفاء رأت فيك ما لم أره.."، رأت الكذب المتسلسل والخيانة والإنكار الذي يشكك الآخر بنفسه وبعقله وإحساسه، وهي صفات تتجاهلها المرأة التي تحب رجلاً يحبها لكنه غير قادر على الالتزام بها. قال لها بصراحة: "اسمعي.. أنا رجل لعوب.. أشرب وأعربد وأعاشر النساء.. لكنني أعود إليك في كل مرة.."، وكانت تتحمل الأذى: "تؤذينني عمداً وكأنك تفرغ في نفسي أحقادك وأوجاعك وأمراضك، تؤذيني عمداً باسم الحبّ..". وهي بالرغم من كل الحقائق والوقائع تعترف: "لم أبكِ بحرقة إلا بسببك ولم أضحك من أعماقي إلا معك.. أليست بمعادلة صعبة..؟ يحلل لها زياد صديقهما المشترك الوضع: "أحببته لدرجة أخافته!.. لم يكن قادراً على ضمك لقائمة نسائه ولم يتمكن من الابتعاد عنك.. أحبك لدرجة أنه كان يخشى عليك من نفسه.. كما كان يخشى منك في الوقت ذاته.."

كيف يلتقيان، وهو يؤمن بأن الغاية تبرر الوسيلة، وهي تؤمن "بأن الوسيلة أحياناً أهم من الغاية!"؟

"قلت لي يوماً بأن حكايات الحبّ الشرقية غالباً ما تنتهي بمأساة. واليوم أعرف بأنك كنت محقاً في هذا.."

تنقل الرواية بصدق عميق ما يدور في أعماق المرأة في حالة حب،ّ من أحاسيس وأفكار وتناقضات، إذ تظن أن الخيار الصعب إلى أقسى مداه يكمن في الحفاظ على مشاعر الحبّ الجياشة واستمرارها، على حساب التنكّر للذات الواعية والمدركة لتلاعب الطرف الآخر بها، لكنها بأي حال، وحتى في حال دفع الحساب، لن تحصل على مبتغاها.]]> 326 أثير عبدالله النشمي 995371908X Salma 5 currently-reading 3.56 2009 أحببتك أكثر مما ينبغي

]]> com نسيان 6621287 بلغتها البليغة الجميلة والمباشرة والواضحة، تعبّر الكاتبة عن حقائق موجودة وواقعية وحسية، لا تتخيل منها شيئا، بل قد تتعدى أحياناً تفاصيل واقعها الفعلي حدود أي خيال رحب، ثم تصل إلى نتائج واستنتاجات وبيانات وأحكام ونصائح مهما اختلفت الاراء في تأثيرها ومفعولها وحكمتها، ومهما تنوعت ردود الفعل عليها، فإن مصدرها صادق وغني ونابع من تجربة ومن فضول ميداني بعيد كل البعد عن التنظير والنظرية، يكشف بالكشافات الضوئية الساطعة كل زوايا وخفايا ما يدور في ساحات مساحات واسعة حقيقية.
تشكو الكاتبة من اختفاء رجولة "الرجال"، بما معناه اختفاء كل الصفات الأخلاقية والعشقية الحميدة التي تتوخاها المرأة منهم، فكيف الخلاص للمرأة في حبها للرجل؟ تجد لها حلا وتنصحها وتدعوها: "أحبيه كما لم تحب امرأة/ وانسيه كما ينسى الرجال"، هي لا تتوق إلى التماثل مع الرجال "قليلي الحب"، بصورتهم الحالية المندّد بها، فلتبق المرأة على طبيعتها الأصلية في حبها ومحبتها للرجل، ولتتعلم فقط كيف تكون كالرجال في النسيان.
تأتي الكاتبة على ذكر العديد من الشعراء والفلاسفة والكتّاب، وتستشهد بأقوالهم وأحاديثهم التي تقوّي عصب موضوعها وتغنيه: "لا يمكن حصر عدد الكتّاب الذين، عبر الأزمنة والحضارات وبكل اللغات، عملوا مرشدين عاطفيين للتائهين من العشاق في الأزقة والشوارع الجانبية للحبّ. ليس لي هذا الادّعاء. أنا مجرد ممرضة لا تملك سوى حقيبة إسعافات أوّلية لإيقاف نزيف القلوب الأنثوية عند الفراق ". "في النهاية، ما النسيان سوى قلب صفحة من كتاب العمر"، لكن قد يكون وزن الصفحة ثقيلا بحيث وجدت الكاتبة لنفسها دوراً في تخفيف هذا الوزن ما استطاعت، بل وقلب الصفحة نيابة عن القارئ. تقول بتواضع وهدف عملي نبيل: "دعوني أحاول، ربما استطعت قلب صفحتكم هذه. ذلك أنه من الأسهل قلب صفحة الآخرين".
يتضمن الكتاب المرفق بـ C.D بعنوان "أيها النسيان هبني قبلتك" من كلمات الكاتبة، وألحان وغناء جاهدة وهبي، عدداً من إشارات الفصول تحمل هذه العناوين: هكذا تورطت في هذا الكتاب، وهاتف النسيان، ونصائح بقطيع من الجمال، وصفات لنسيان رجل، وكما ينسى الرجال، وكمائن الذاكرة، ونساء في مهبّ النسيان، ومن قصص النساء الغبيات، وتانغو النسيان وميثاق شرف أنثوي.
كتاب ممتع وملفت ومثير للمعرفة وللجدل في مواضيع تهم القرّاء، فيه الكثير من الحقائق والأحاسيس وجعبة من الاستنتاجات حصيلة تجارب ومراقبة ميدانية للأوضاع بحيث يمكن لأي امرأة، ولأي رجل، الاستفادة من صدقها وواقعيتها]]> 335 Ahlam Mosteghanemi 9953891222 Salma 4 3.67 2009 com نسيان

]]> The Horse Whisperer 479415 A forty-ton truck hurtles out of control on a snowy country road, a teenage girl on horseback in its path. In a few terrible seconds the life of a family is shattered. And a mother's quest beings - to save her maimed daughter and a horse driven mad by pain. It is an odyssey that will bring her to...

THE HORSE WHISPERER

He is the stuff of legend. His voice can calm wild horses and his touch heal broken spirits. For secrets uttered softly into pricked and troubled ears, such men were once called Whisperers. Now Tom Booker, the inheritor of this ancient gift, is to meet his greatest challenge.

Annie Graves has traveled across a continent with her daughter, Grace, and their wounded horse, Pilgrim, to the Booker ranch in Montana. Annie has risked everything - her career, her marriage, her comfortable life - in her desperate belief that the Whisperer can help them. The accident has turned Pilgrim savage. He is now so demented and dangerous that everyone says he should be destroyed. But Annie won't give up on him. For she feels his fate is inextricably entwined with that of he daughter, who has retreated into a heartrending, hostile silence. Annie knows that if the horse dies, something in Grace will die too.

In the weeks to come, under the massive sky of the Rocky Mountain Front, all their lives - including Tom Booker's - will be transformed forever in a way none could have foretold. At once an epic love story and a gripping adventure, The Horse Whisperer weaves an extraordinary tale of healing and redemption - a magnificent emotional journey that explores our ancient bonds with earth and sky and hearts untamed. It is a stirring elegy to the power of belief and self-discovery, to hopes lost and found again.]]> 451 Nicholas Evans 0440222656 Salma 5 3.87 1995 The Horse Whisperer

]]> My Sister’s Keeper 10917 New York Times best-selling author Jodi Picoult is widely acclaimed for her keen insights into the hearts and minds of real people. Now she tells the emotionally riveting story of a family torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate love that triumphs over human weakness.

Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age 13 she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate—a life and a role that she has never challenged ... until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister—and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves.

My Sister's Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life, even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are if that quest makes you like yourself less? Should you follow your own heart or let others lead you? Once again, in My Sister's Keeper, Jodi Picoult tackles a controversial real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.]]> 423 Jodi Picoult 0743454537 Salma 5 4.10 2004 My Sister’s Keeper

]]> A Walk to Remember 3473 A high school rebel and a minister's daughter find strength in each other in this star-crossed tale of "young but everlasting love" (Chicago Sun-Times).There was a time when the world was sweeter....when the women in Beaufort, North Carolina, wore dresses, and the men donned hats.... Every April, when the wind smells of both the sea and lilacs, Landon Carter remembers 1958, his last year at Beaufort High. Landon had dated a girl or two, and even once sworn that he'd been in love. Certainly the last person he thought he'd fall for was Jamie, the shy, almost ethereal daughter of the town's Baptist minister....Jamie, who was destined to show him the depths of the human heart-and the joy and pain of living. The inspiration for this novel came from Nicholas Sparks's sister: her life and her courage. From the internationally bestselling author Nicholas Sparks, comes his most moving story yet....]]> 240 Nicholas Sparks 0446693804 Salma 5 4.16 1999 A Walk to Remember
