Ghassan Kanafani's collection of short stories, especially the titular 'Men in the Sun,' is nothing short of a literary masterpiece. each narrative is a window into the raw realities of Palestinian lives, capturing the depth of human emotions amidst political turmoil. Kanafani's prose is both lyrical and heartbreaking. 'Men in the Sun' it's a compelling exploration of the human spirit against all odds - a must-read!

نهاية سيئة جدًا لليوم يا ريتني كنت قرأت فصل النهارده من البؤساء في اخر اليوم بدل الرواية دي فصل عذب و جميل
لكن الرواية دي كئيبة بشكل مش طبيعي نهاية بشعة و مع اني كنت عارف النهاية بسبب تقديم دار النشر الغبي
و لكن مع ذلك أتاثرت بيها جدًا.
اسلوب غسان كنفاني جميل جدًا في الرواية عجبني ازدواجية المشاهد اللي استخدمها و نقله بينهم في لحظة من غير تنويه و تركه لمهمة الفهم للقارئ
و كالعادة عجبتني و قتلتني فكرة الرواية نفسها بؤس و ذل و هوان.
الموت او الموت اقتصاديا العيش كفئران تقتتي علي فتات الجمعيات " الانسانية " التي تعمل هناك
و الجثة الثالثة كانت أخف بكثير
حزين لا أستطيع أن أقول أكثر من هذا

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
