Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La guerra sobre Alepo oriental fue una vergüenza que todos vivimos. Allí se repitió lo que hicieron los nazis y los fascistas en muchas ciudades europeas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, pero sin que el mundo tuviera el más mínimo deseo de detener a la salvaje bestia. Todos miraban en silencio las escenas de bombardeos de los aviones del gobierno sobre escuelas, hospitales y edificios. Posteriormente, el silencio internacional dio paso a una indiferencia que permitió al régimen ejecutar su plan de aniquilar a los que se habían levantado en su contra con total tranquilidad. En muchas ocasiones, los lectores me preguntan por los personajes de mis novelas: quieren saber si se trata de personajes reales o si los he inventado. Tal vez, alguno de los personajes de mi novela despierte vuestra curiosidad también. Lo cierto es que cojo datos de muchas personas que han sufrido los horrores de la guerra y el picor de sus llamas, y que han probado su amargo sabor. Algunos personajes son reales, personas que me contaron sus historias; otras son personas cercanas a quienes conozco en la realidad, como Leila y su marido, el cirujano Ferhad (los nombres son, evidentemente, ficticios), en esta novela. Los conozco bien y me dolió mucho el destino de su pequeña familia, pues Leila sigue siendo incapaz de articular palabra a día de hoy y vive refugiada con tres hijos en Estambul. Otros personajes son producto de mi imaginación, a fin de completar la escena y contar la amarga realidad. Tras esta novela que os presento, escribí Una vía segura, que puede considerarse la segunda parte de la misma. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di Almarai A. Traduzione di M. Giuliani. Ospedaletto, 2017; br., pp. 199. (Primavere Letterarie. 2). Il patrimonio letterario curdo, nella sua produzione prosastica, e in particolar modo in quella lirica, rappresenta un'eredità culturale di antichissima tradizione. Tuttavia, benché le sue origini affondino in epoche remote, la sua conoscenza da parte del lettore arabo è piuttosto recente e ha potuto aver luogo soltanto grazie alle traduzioni di alcuni scrittori curdi, e anche alla scelta degli stessi di redigere le proprie opere direttamente in arabo. In tale contesto, lo scrittore siro-curdo Jan Dost è sicuramente uno degli intellettuali contemporanei più importanti, che ha permesso al pubblico arabo e internazionale di conoscere alcune delle pagine più belle della letteratura curda.

Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di Napolitano G. Traduzione di Argentieri A. Introduzione di Napolitano G. Testo Italiano e Arabo. Neviano, 2020; br., pp. 134, cm 13x20. (Fogli di Via. 3). Jan Dost compone in questo libro, compatto per temi e forme, un diario esistenziale di acuta valenza poetica, nel suo farsi 'altro' da sé, nel suo trasformarsi da privato in denuncia e condanna: la voce del poeta forse non ha, malgrado la potenza delle sue parole che si incidono nell'animo di chi legge, altro scopo che quello - lamento e sfogo, slancio di passione. Ma quanto sollievo possono dare le semplici parole del poeta che si guarda intorno (e dentro) smarrito e cerca 'compagni al duolo', uomini desiderosi come lui di pace e fratellanza. La lezione della poesia non può che essere quel che è: parola che comunica e si comunica, messaggio che cerca e trova, esperienza che si fa conoscenza partecipata. Anche gli oggetti parlano, si confessano nella loro fragilità di impotenza, che diventa paradossalmente vita nuova offerta a chi guardandoli sappia coglierne il riflesso, l'ombra di ciò che sono o almeno furono: un orologio, una bicicletta, una porta, una finestra, un tetto, elementi di un paesaggio/ambiente che vivono ormai soltanto in queste parole, conservate per parlare di un tempo in cui vivevano davvero poiché erano parte della vita umana di chi li viveva e ne aveva parte.
