Histoires Extraordinaires et Légendes Merveilleuses Volume 1
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 hierarchical stratification on Earth is not a proof of spiritual superiority and sublimity. Moreover, there are other inhabited planets whose civilizations exceed by far those of Earth.

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.

Lights upon Dr. Dahesh and Daheshism
Ghazi Brax
$5.00
A lecture in English presented in the Faculty for Comparative Study of Religions in Antwerpen, Belgium. The author discusses some of the teachings and concepts of Daheshism like its views of God, cosmic order and man's place in the cosmic system, divine justice, reincarnation, just retribution, and freedom. He interprets in light of the Daheshist teachings some of the happenings of daily life and human affairs.
Departing Sails
George Shakkur
$20.00
The author of this book is not a writer, not a poet; it is enough to say about him that he is a human being, that is, a man who tried to chant everlasting sweet sorrows, a man who loved life but only through his great love of Dahesh." This quotation cited from the author's Preface to his book draws for us a clear picture of the whole book. This volume is in the form of prose poems or cantos in which the author addresses his well-beloved Guide, Dr. Dahesh. These cantos are suffused with the fragrance of dreams and shades as well as marked with deep intensity of the feelings of love and longing. The reader would be captivated by the profusion of imagery and its hauntingly rhythmical beauty.
The book has been rendered from French into Arabic by the Poet. Mussa Al-Maalouf.

Man of Mystery
Iskandar Shahin
$36.00
“All the journalists who are my colleagues who did not believe in Daheshism at least unanimously agreed that the man is a phenomenon in every sense of the word. Iskandar Shahin
“Dr Dahesh opened for us all the doors of his house… every door opened unto a suite which differed completely from every other suite. It differed in its precious antiques, its oil paintings, and its piles of books or its stuffed birds”. The Newspaper Al-Liwa
“Whatever the case of Dr Dahesh is, everyone who meets him cannot but reach one conclusion that the man is a strange phenomenon in our society”. The newspaper “Al-Gareeda”
“Daheshism is above all a spiritual notion… the transmigration of souls is a Divine mercy; if it didn’t exist, all human beings would have perished …” “Al- Isbuu’ Al- Arabi” Magazine.

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 title of this book is the best indication of its content: a sharp sword in that it attempts neither to hide anything nor to flatter anyone. 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 Hell of Memories
Dr. Dahesh
$40.00
A collection of prose poems composed between 1936 and 1942, echoing a painful experience that the author mentioned in an earlier book The Broken Heart. This sad experience had created in the poet a long-standing doubt in friendship and women, but it also gave rise to inner sufferings. Moreover, this experience made him lose his faith in innocent love hence his harsh judgments on human nature.
