Memoirs of a Dinar French Version (Memoires d'un Dinar)
Dr. Dahesh
$60.00
An unusual novel which Dr. Dahesh had composed in less than 24 hours spread over 12 days (from the third to the fourteenth of January 1946).
The hero, a Dinar(a golden coin), by virtue of its transference from one hand to another roams several countries for almost a century. It wanders into cities, villages, palaces, cottages, monasteries, nighclubs; it travels in the air and dives to the bottom of the seas; it accompanies good and bad people, kings and commons; it listens to animals and witnesses two national liberation movements in India and England as well as two World Wars and later a third World War! Above all, it records its observations with the genius of a spellbinding storyteller and renders its judgments with the wisdom of a philosopher.
The book is a summary statement of the views of the author regarding society and its corruption, clergymen, politics, human rights, courts of justice, money, love, psychology of wars, art and literature. Underlying his harsh critical attitude is the author’s deep desire for reform.

Strange Stories and Wonderful Tales V.1 German Version
Dr. Dahesh
$49.00
This assortment of short stories confronts the reader with exciting plots, perplexing climaxes, and sudden unexpected denouements. The stories make the reader hold his breath at different junctures in the narrative and stirs in him feelings of wonder, surprise, and awe.
What is rather remarkable are the author’s views conveyed in these short stories: all creatures (human and nonhuman) are free and responsible, subject to the eternal laws of divine justice, man is not the only sentient being, for among animals and plants, there are some that enjoy a greater power of rational perception than man. Also the generic hiererical stratification on Earth is not a proof of spiritual superiority and sublimity. Moreover, there are other inhabited planets whose civilizations exceed hy far those of Earth.

The Knell of Sorrows or The Lamentations of Jeremiah
Dr. Dahesh
$15.00
Dr. Dahesh is probably the first writer who rendered in his own style the Lamentations of Jeremiah in the city of Jerusalem after its ruin in the sixth century and the diaspora of its people. His version of the Lamentations stands out for its smoothely running expressions, and profusion of novel imagery which leave a deep impression. No doubt, the comparison between the old and new lamentations is an interesting topic for study.
The question remains: why did Dr. Dahesh recast these Lamentations? One wonders whether he wanted to stress divine justice which he believes in and preaches, or perhaps he had a further purpose—one related to the country which persecuted him.
