About the author
سلام الراسي
21 books31 followersSalam Al Rassi was a Lebanese writer who created his own genre of folk literature.
He was born in the small village of Ibl Al Saqi in Southern Lebanon. His father was a church pastor and the founder and headmaster of Al-Funoon School in Sidon. Salam had 13 siblings. Although his mother wanted to become a pastor, he spent his life in civil service and political activism instead, before he started writing at the age of sixty.
He is credited with the creation of his own genre of folk literature (الأدب الشعبي), where his 16 books are composed of short stories, essays and commentaries, depicting traditional Lebanese village life and exploring the origins of proverbs, idioms, and folk tales. He was interested in recording oral history from the perspectives of ordinary people, and their relationships with politics, governments and rulers.
Al Rassi wrote in his unique blend of formal classic Arabic and local (mostly rural) dialects. He also appeared in his own television show in the 1980's-1990's, called Al Adab Al Shaabi (الأدب الشعبي).

"يحكى ان رجلاً انعمت عليه السماء بكثرة البنات.. الخامسة سماها "كفى".. السادسة سماها "منتهى".. السابعة "تمام".. الثامنة "خاتوم". ثم أنعم الله عليه بإبنتين توأمين... وبالنظر ادلعدم وجود أسماء في حجم هذه الداهية الدهماء ارتجل الرجل لإبنتيه اسماً مشتركاً لا معنى له هو "حيص بيص" وجرى هذا الإسم مجرى الأمثال نعود اليه كلما اكتنفتنا الحيرة"
من هنا اتى المثل (بإحدى رواياته) واسم الكتاب كذلك، فالقصص في مجمل الكتاب تميّزت بالتضاد والتشابيه المتنافرة المنتقاة من الأدب الشعبي وكانت قصص ممتعة جداً ومليئة بالحكمة.
- هناك قصة في الكتاب عنوانها "اتمنى ان اموت قبل ان تحكم دولة الحمير والكلاب".. الله يرحمك يا سلام.
