In Amr Abd Al-Karim's novel, a man awakens with no memory, haunted by fragments of lives he never lived and echoes of forgotten eras. This surreal journey delves into the very fabric of consciousness and identity. As he navigates a world that is both familiar and alien, he must piece together his past from the 'memories of ancient sleep,' questioning whether our existence is merely a dream of a slumbering consciousness. It is a profound exploration of time, memory, and the self.
