Numan Albarbari
is a Syrian writer and man of letters, currently residing in Backnang, in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
He writes in both Arabic and German, dedicating himself with particular passion to literary essays, socially engaged novels, and psychologically inspired narratives. His pedagogical experience is reflected in his work, allowing him to capture with rare depth the human soul, poised between the individual and society.
His literary output is conceived as a cultural bridge between East and West. Rooted in a life journey marked by ruptures and transformations, his writing unites the values of tradition and openness. Albarbari’s texts aspire to preserve, in a world of constant change, universal human and educational ideals, while renewing themselves in the literary realm.
For the translation of this novel from its original language, Arabic, into other languages, some electronic programs were employed, in an attempt to convey words and meanings to the reader with the utmost clarity. Nevertheless, some subtle nuances may have been lost, and certain images or phrasings may have shed the delicacy and depth they originally held. I therefore leave space for the reader’s mind and taste—to read between the lines, to feel the emotions, and to connect the events and ideas as they were intertwined in the author’s mind and in the text. It is the passionate reader who completes the story, who breathes true life into the words, and who transforms them into a unique experience that blends understanding with feeling.
