From the novel “… These revolutions have their roots in the authenticity of the first historical revolution of One Thousand and One Nights. It wasn't merely a tale, but a revolution led with remarkable cunning by a captivating woman. Perhaps nations can learn from the cunning of the tale how to make their revolutions triumph against imperialism around the world, particularly in the Third World. The Palestinian revolution might find the story’s experience relevant, as its historical concept is entirely rooted in storytelling through voice and imagery, event and thought. With logic that opens mirrors in its memory, the movement began to intertwine with images within the film projects starting with ‘The War of the Bridges, March 1978’. It was translated by him ‘from Arabic to German and Persian’ and discussed with students. Thus, it opened new windows for the upcoming One Thousand and One Nights in both heart and mind, much like others.” Marwan Abdel A'al is a novelist, visual artist, and Palestinian political activist born in Lebanon in 1957, he has published many literary and political texts.
