The book marks the first time an Arab writer received the Goethe Prize in 2011 as the 'most significant Arab poet of our time'. His works have been translated into several languages including French, English, Swedish, Norwegian, German, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Greek, and Polish. Behind the loom weaving history is a hidden force that sometimes disguises, sometimes neglects, and sometimes forgets — depending on the situation and purpose. History, overall, is like a swimmer facing the vastness of the sea, rarely thinking beyond the immediate surface and shore, with the depths and dimensions remaining far and concealed.
