Memoirs of a Dinar, Arabic version 2nd ED
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 Vol. 2 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.

Dr. Dahesh's Journeys Around the World Vol.6
Dr. Dahesh
$40.00
Travel is not accidental in the life of Dr. Dahesh. He traveled wide and far—to the Middle and Far East, Russia, North America, and almost all of the African and European countries. He recorded, in this series, facts of his travels, his observations, and his wide-ranged commentaries.
Dr. Dahesh’s travel literature stands out for its fidelity to facts in narration and description, its accuracy in recording the exact time and numbers, its exploration of the natural, cultural, social, and economic aspects of each country he visited, the similarities and differences among nations.
Dr. Dahesh’s Journeys come close to being an autobiography, acquainting the reader with the personality of the author, his attitudes, taste, spiritual philosophy, and the manner of his life.

A Writer of Prose and A Writer of Poetry V.1
Dr. Dahesh/Halim Dammous
$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 Songs
Dr. Dahesh
$25.00
Most of Dr. Dahesh's books which may be classified as emotive literature carry pieces which have such dominant motifs as the insignificance of worldly life, the ephemeral nature of its hopes, the falsity of its glroies, the corruption of men and their consequent misery, praise and love of death and yearning to it, longing for the world of the Spirit and hope for deliverance from material bondage, and happiness in the eternal paradisical gardens. The author collected these pieces in this book which he entitled My Songs. The title signifies the heart-deep attachment of these pieces to his soul.
This book is different from other books in the same literary category, but so are the purposes of the author. It is the most keen expression of the author's spiritual alienation in this world.
