NEANDERTHALS
THE EXPERIMENT
(English Translation)
Two strangers, a man and a woman, meet on a deserted island, where neither remembers when or how they arrived. Eventually they realize they’re undergoing a deliberate unorthodox experiment. Omar and Shadia are continually exposed to hazards that reveal their true selves.

Not only a thrilling adventure, the story focuses on a person’s most difficult choice: between freedom and safety. Omar and Shadia’s love is triggered by an ultimate hardship, while the story’s theme delves into human pride—how the instant we face a hard choice can lead us to throw our old fears behind. Neanderthals is a thrilling science fiction novel with a heart wrenching romance, perfect for readers who enjoy a heart pounding story that challenges our views of morality and ethics.

A NEW TALE OF
AL-ANDALUS
I opened another book that I loved reading a lot, called "The State of Islam in Andalusia". I didn’t know at that time that after completing my life’s journey, the content of this book would change greatly. Rather, my name would be written in it, but in a more complex form, instead of “Yazid Hussein Abdel Razek” it would become “Abu Othman Yazid bin Hussein Al-Sandari” followed by a number of titles. This is how Yazid, the doctor who was born in the late twentieth century, begins the story of his attempt to change the history of Andalusia. He and those with him, four different eras traveled through time to prevent Muhammad Ibn Abi Amer from ruling Andalusia and to preserve the caliphate of the Umayyads. They believe that it is the first stage to change the history of the entire world, to prevent the dark future that awaits humanity in the twenty-eighth century. A novel that mixes Andalusian history with science fiction in an interesting adventure that does not lack deep human dimensions, perhaps the most important of which is the idea of accepting the other.

THE SETTLEMENT
There is not one absolute truth in life and no absolute falsehood, but you strive to find a rule to base on that's as close to the truth as possible and as far from falsehood as possible. But "To fight a tyrant with a wooden sword is better for me than to borrow the sword of another tyrant to fight under his banner.” Those were Omar’s words to his daughter Maysa justifying his method of fighting the occupier, but his daughter chose another path of resistance that collides with him and his followers. Strange as it may seem, the battlefields extend from Al-Duwaiqa in Cairo to Broumana in Mount Lebanon and the Hatay Mountains in Turkey and even the city of Jerusalem, so what will be the fate of all these events?

A PACIFIC LOVE (AR)
It was slowly flowing inside my soul, I was building a dam, not to break it, but to wrap around it, it was a calm river, not a raging stream, but its calm current always overflows. Through one dam after the other without me noticing, the dams were many because of the many experiences I suffered from those I encountered. Before meeting him of the rough species; and the roughness here does not apply to their bodies only, but to their souls and hearts as well. In this novel, the writer weaves two parallel stories that revolve in two places within thousands of miles apart and with completely different atmospheres, but the threads intertwine and one new story appears to us in the end, so that we know in the end how the miracle of love is a reality, not a metaphor.

You'll see a lot of young doctors and nurses at first sight and you'll see patients you didn't expect... hey; This is not the full picture. If you focus, you will be amazed by the details. You will find out that every person you see has a story in the midst of many others in the hospital. You will learn that one of these young doctors who takes care of you is fighting a battle to save his family from the oppression of those with power, and that the other is living a secret life behind closed doors.
