Memoirs of a 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.

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.

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."
