The Palestinian odyssey of a man who has chosen words as his refuge, resistance, and homeland. Amidst the smoking ruins of Gaza and the yellowed pages of books, an old man waits for someone to finally stop and listen. Because the books he holds in his hands are not just objects: they are fragments of a life, flashes of a memory, and scars of a people. When a young French photographer focuses his camera on this old man surrounded by books, he is unaware that he is about to cross the mirror. This moving novel by Rachid Benzine is a literary tribute to the people of Gaza and a powerful historical fable that narrates the story of the Palestinian people through the most intimate labyrinths of a bookseller's life.
