See you all soon!

[Mohamed Alyahyai محمد اليحيائي @Malyahyai]

The English edition of My (War) emerged at this grim and turbulent moment of conflict. Yet, as I wrote on the novel’s opening page; “war is our postponed destiny.”
I wish all readers a meaningful reading experience, for reading is humanity’s ongoing history.

This is why we publish.
Not to explain the region—
but to let it speak.

#StoriesBeyondWar

[DarArab for Publishing and Translation @DarArabUk]

Wars create headlines.
Stories preserve lives

#StoriesBeyondWar

[DarArab for Publishing and Translation @DarArabUk]

Through translation, these voices travel.
Not as news—
but as stories that stay.
