The Puppets of the Marionettes
LMuradi
He took a leaden breath. "A smart man learns to live with placid waters, making them rage will sweep him away. Do not speak much because you will never know a friend or family from a foe; the wrath you incur will be obliterating."
"Water is meant to flow, not to remain placid."
"Here, it is meant to remain placid."
"And my dignity?"
"What about your dignity?"
"How will it succumb to this?"
"It must succumb. You must bury your dignity, otherwise, it will bury you."
Beautifully intertwined with compelling Arabic poetry, The Puppets of the Marionettes depicts the struggles of nations, of hundreds of millions of people: puppet governments, degradation, disguised slavery, corruption, stripped rights, hopelessness, this is a story of a trampled Middle East. Follow Omar as his life unwillingly turns into a life carved for him. Will his dignity ever be restored, or is its loss the main objective?
