Aida: The Captive of War, The Princess of Love by Khaled Badawi (Author)

This book weaves texts that form in her imagination, and she reconciles with her wasted time in the kitchen and delves into the number of floors, foods, and tastes. Any resemblance to actual people (living or dead), places, or events in our time is purely coincidental. Everything goes towards destruction, and nothing remains but a trace. And the effect on authorship is writing, the "eternal herb" that may not change the world but carries the world's voice and its conscience. The writer, Lamia Nouira Boukil, has three collections of stories, most characterized by realism. She said: "The author is first and foremost the son of his era, his society, and his local and universal affiliation." In 2018, the author published the first collection of forty-five texts, entitled "Travel in the Fist of the Hand." And a second, published in 2020, includes twelve stories and is titled "The Village of Botero. Al-Qassasa won two Arab awards for her short story, and she has writings for children under review and a novel for young people underwriting. She also continues to write short stories and publish them in paper newspapers and electronic magazines. The writer picked up her stories with their events and personalities and enabled them from the road and places of public life, and those around her, whether women, men, or children, simple and distressed, from those who resemble her and share with her anxiety and disappointment, worry and dream, hope and longing, who struggle with the requirements of life, and the brunt of social, economic and political changes. And with all that hope for a better tomorrow and longing for a more beautiful world with justice and room for happiness and dreams. The author's stories are also full of interest in the animal, which has been man's partner and companion since the beginning of creation. There is also a celebration of places and times just like people and between the folds of all that emerge ideas that are usually characterized by their human, philosophical, and existential dimension, and explicit references to the arts and their constant involvement in human issues along with The beauty and profound effect it has achieved on the souls of those who taste it. The stories of the writer, Lamia Nouira Bukil, are not political. Still, they are not isolated from politics, whose variables cast a shadow over all aspects of life and the conditions of peoples, nor are they isolated from the world in which technology becomes savage, so life became savage, and its alienation increased in it, and this is what prompted the author - as she says - To alleviate the burden of this reality by giving its stories rooted in its soil, a dose of imagination and suspense, wit, exoticism, and unrealism, and to inspire a growing and extended spirit in its local roots to touch the wider world. The stories may appear in a first reading of a local matter. Still, a deep and insightful reading soon reveals that they are full of the spirit of universality and belonging to man wherever he is, bearing his voice, concern, and dream relentlessly. For that, "love in him and believe in him, the author dedicates her writings to him."
