Memoirs of a Dinar Spanish Version (Memorias de 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.

The Sharp Sword
Dr. Dahesh
$0.00
This book consists of 366 rhymed six-line stanzas, written by Dr. Dahesh in 1980, one stanza every day.

The author lays bare the truth about human life, its miseries, and its futility… He attacks the traitors and tyrants at whose hands he suffered severely. He also declares his support for truth, justice and virtue in an age where moral values have been seriously shaken.
Those who are lovers of sheer truth will find the truth in this book without ornamentation or disguise. In fact, the author is so candid that he gives it the title The Sharp Sword.

The Inferno of Dr. Dahesh V.1, a Master Piece!
Dr. Dahesh
$0.00
It is a journey by Dr. Dahesh into 52 lower degrees of hell, "the underworld of eternal gloom," or "the kingdom of darkness." The author depicted scenes of the sinners' suffering and quaking horrors. The book, however, does not confine itself to a description of these sinners, but it reveals the reasons for suffering in hell. In fact, two motives actuate his descriptions: a punitive one with the purpose of deterring men from committing evil, and one of compassion with the purpose of offering them guidance.
Thus, The Inferno of Dr. Dahesh is not only a literary masterpiece but also a moral one; its purpose is to reveal divine justice: the reward or punishment of man according to his deeds.
The book consists of 52 rhymed prose poems of four sestets each. Each poem describes an infernal underworld in a lower degree of hell. Though the allotment of four sestets only to an infernal underworld is a little short, yet each of these sestets is fraught iwth an atmosphere of ghastly dread. Accompanying these poems are two expressive illustrations of each infernal world, which add more to the piled up horrors. Halim Dammous wrote of these poems, saying: "The verse ran like a motion picture of hell in full colors."

Words of Dr. Dahesh
Dr. Dahesh
$20.00
During 1936, Dr. Dahesh daily recorded a separate thought. At the end of the year, these reflections collectively constituted this book.
Words of Dr.Dahesh is the mirror of his soul. They capture images of his different moods and thoughts. This book is a brief summary of his views on many subjects such as women, friendship, books, freedom, injustice, life, death, religion, faith, misery, and happiness. These views are rather harsh, but their harshness is tempered with justice.

A Writer of Prose & A Writer of Poetry Vol. 3
Dr. Dahesh
$26.00
In this book, Dr. Dahesh rephrases most of what he has written between 1930 and 1950 into octave-rhymed stanzas; then the poet Halim Dammous "being aware," as he says, "of the impact of these inspired words and of the origin of these heart-deep feelings," transposes them from rhymed prose into rhymed verse. In the verse version, the reader finds an almost total faithfulness to the original rhymed prose and at the same time an easy flow of rhythm.
My Ruined Hand or How I Fell the Destructive Death Fall
Dr. Dahesh
$15.00
Have you ever read about an author who had written a whole book about his hand and its pains? It is a novel subject which perhaps only Dr. Dahesh had tackled.
This book is a collection of lyrical pieces, most of which are rhymed, in which the author expresses over a period of three years the pains of his hand as a result of his delipidating fall in the spring of 1976.
The extraordinary ability of Dr. Dahesh appears in his “anatomy of the feelings of grief” However, his work is not cofined to an anlysis of his pain, for he ascribes the painful fall, the continuation of pain, and the lack of any cure at the physicians' hands to the principle of divine justice. Then soon you find him raising his supplications to God, his last refuge, that He may have mercy on him and heal his hand.

Fleeting Mirages
Dr. Dahesh
$24.00
This book consists of prose and rhymed poems which have some general distinctive characteristics in common with the author’s contemplative and emotive literature. Five major events cast dark shadows over the book: the crucifying persecution against Dr. Dahesh, the death of Dr. Dahesh’s mother, the suicide of Magda Hadad, the second World War, and the assassination of Gandhi, “the prophet of humanity.” However this dark view is counterbalanced with a bright side emanating from poems about love and nature.
Memoirs of Jesus of Nazareth V.1 Arabic Version
Dr. Dahesh
$40.00
The life of Christ until the age of 30 raises many unanswered questions: How did he spend his childhood days and his youth? How long did he stay with his parents in Egypt? Who received them as his guests there? Did he get any education? Did he perform any miracles prior to his miracle at Cana of Galilea? What is the attitude of his family towards him and his message? When did he meet Peter for the first time? Did he reveal any of his teachings before the proclamation of his message? Did the four gospels mention all his teachings or is it that some of them had not been revealed to the world?
This inspired book reveals three years of the Nazarene's life beginning at the age of twelve.
