The Dove Flyer
Author: Eli Amir
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1590177525
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 538
Book Description
The Dove Flyer tells the story of the last years of the Jewish community in Baghdad, before their expulsion in 1950 and settlement in Israel. The young narrator, Kabi, watches as the members of his extended family each develop different dreams and a different sets of fears throughout these tumultuous, transitional times: his mother wants to move out of the new Jewish quarter and back to their old Muslim neighborhood where she felt safer; his father wants to emigrate to the promised land, the new State of Israel, where he will farm and grow rice; his uncle Hizkel, a Zionist, is arrested and taken off to prison to await trial and a possible death sentence; his headmaster, Salim, believes in the equality of Arabs and Jews; and his uncle Edouard just wants to hang out on the rooftop with his doves. Meanwhile, as World War II draws closer and Israeli statehood seems more assured, a noose begins to tighten around Jewish Iraqis. Houses are appropriated, Jews are beaten in the streets and hung in public, and young Kabi watches as the storied legacy of the Jewish community in Baghdad is dismantled piecemeal and finally decimated. As for the land of milk and honey, there is neither milk, nor honey. It is a desert, a place as barren and coarse as the community Kabi and his family left behind was vibrant, bountiful, and dreamy.

Candles in the Wind
Butterfly Doves
Author: Joshway I. Short
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1465337466
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
As a young poet, I am a humble, quiet and deep thinker. A lot of times I meditate on God Almighty, Jesus Christ and I also choose meditation as an everyday stress reliever. I started seriously writing poetry in 2003, to be honest; I never really liked poetry and Shakespeare, when I was much younger. It was until one day, I had feelings for a girl, and I wrote from the bottom of my soul to my heart, I poured my heart out in that poem. After that poem, I entered a poetry contest and lost, but I kept on writing, soon after a while, my hunger for poetry grew. The amazing part of my life is that God Almighty has saved me so many times in life, I have a reason to breathe, and what may blow peoples minds. Is the fact that my mother told me, that she read poetry to me, while I was in her womb. So I was already gifted before I existed in this world. I am inspired by lifes struggles, my own ups and downs, the simple things in life and other artists that are poets and musicians in one. Poetry to me, is a beautiful form of art, that expresses my true feelings on paper without using paint on a canvas, I am using words to paint my picture. Poetry is also an expressive form of therapy as an outlet. Overall, I just want people in the world to know, that we all have a purpose in life, and that being human is not easy. My final way of thinking, is that I want to at least build a small legacy, starting with Butterfly Doves.
