73 books5,983 followers
Ibrahim Nasrallah (Arabic: إبراهيم نصرالله), the winner of the Arabic Booker Prize (2018), was born in 1954 to Palestinian parents who were forcibly displaced from their land in Al-Burayj, Palestine in 1948. He spent his childhood and youth in a refugee camp in Jordan, and began his career as a teacher in Saudi Arabia. After returning to Amman, he worked in the media and cultural sectors till 2006 when he dedicated his life to writing. To date, he has published 15 poetry collections, 22 novels, and several other books. In 1985, he started writing the Palestinian Comedy covering 250 years of modern Palestinian history in a series of novels in which each novel is an independent one; to date 13 novels have been published in the framework of this project. Five of his novels and a volume of poetry have been published in English, nine in Persian, four works in Italian, two in Spanish, and one novel in Danish and Turkish.

Nasrallah is also an artist and photographer and has had four solo exhibitions of his photography. He won nine prizes, and his novel Prairies of Fever was chosen by the Guardian newspaper as one of the most important ten novels written by Arabs or non-Arabs about the Arab world. Three of his novels were listed on the International Prize for Arabic Fiction for the years 2009, 2013, and 2014. In 2012 he won the inaugural Jerusalem Award for Culture and Creativity for his literary work. His books are considered one of the most influential and best seller Arabic books, as new editions are released frequently and many young readers are attracted to his books.

In January 2014, he succeeded in summiting Mount Kilimanjaro in a venture that involved two Palestinian adolescents, a boy and a girl, who have lost their legs. The climb was in support to a nongovernmental organization dedicated to providing medical services to Palestinian and Arab children. Nasrallah wrote about this journey in a novel entitled The Spirits of Kilimanjaro (2015). In 2016, Nasrallah was awarded the Katara Prize for Arabic Novels for this work.

His novel The Second Dog War was awarded the International Prize for Arabic Fiction (Arabic Booker) for 2018. In 2020 he became the first Arabic writer to be awarded the "Katara Prize" for Arabic Novels for the second time for his novel "A Tank Under the Christmas Tree".

[  ] في بحثه عن اسم

[  ] الباحث عنك لن يجد روحه، و الحامل اليك ورده، لن يجد سوى شاهده القبر

[  ] محاولتك الاخيره ان تقولي انك بلا ذنوب

[  ] اطلالتك الحديديه على النهر ، ستارك الذي يخفي ما تركت من دموع في الغابات

[  ] تضللين المساء بهدوئك و لا تضللين القلب

[  ] الشمس محتجبه خلف دم لم يجف

[  ] ساناديك انت لا لاني اعرفك بل لاني ابحث عنك

[  ] لا يمر بك القاتل الا ليقيم

[  ] مدججا بخسارتي، مدججا باحتمالات مفتوحه دائما على الدم

[  ] ابحث عنك انت وحدك لكي اتلمس فيك جهتي، و اجرك نحو روحي، بقصيده او جرح

[  ] لم اسمعك تتحدثين ، و لكنني اعرف الان ان هذا الصوت صوتك

[  ] ما ثمن الحريه

[  ] ايها الجندي تقدم

[  ] تشبهني و لن اكونك

[  ] ينشدون حريتهم و يلعنون ضوءك الاعمى

[  ] انهم ضحاياك الذين تتزينين بهم

[  ] اسير دونك محني القلب ، تلعب في داخلي ريحك

[  ] على الجانب الاخر من خطاي التائهه تقفين

[  ] لا تسحبي يدك من يدي لئلا يقتلني الظمأ

[  ] ساملؤك محبه لتنسي من عذبك و املؤك عطشا بي لئلا تعودي للوراء

[  ] سلاما للفجر المكسور في عينيك

[  ] ايها المتعب لا مكان لك

[  ] لا لون لك غير هذا القهر

[  ] كيف تخون المدينه

[  ] تملا المكان و لا مكان لك

[  ] لن تتقدمي في حلمنا ، ايتها الكابوس

[  ] لطفل المظاهره الاف الاسرار

[  ] لا ترهق الاغنيه بسؤالك عن معناها ، فلن تفهم الورده

[  ] قد يكون هذا النهار ملائما لنسيانك

[  ] لا ياسمين بعدها

[  ] الحريه غزال مطارد

[  ] لنقل اننا خارج ارض تميل الى النهايات

[  ] من ينزع عينيك مما فيهما

[  ] حين اندفعت الثعالب فوق ظهور المكائد، و جمعتنا في المدن، حيث لا هواء يحمل استغاثاتنا و لا انهار حيث السقوف معده لكسر قاماتنا

[  ] غزاه معدنيون يتجمعون تحت الشبابيك لاصطياد الفجر

[  ] كل شيء اعد لاقتناص الارض

[  ] انا القذيفه اطلقني

[  ] كلمات تعبر الطرقات بلا ارجل

[  ] ساخرج هكذا ممتلئا بوحدتي

أيها العمر الأخضر المرهون للجنرالات
من علمك أن كعب البندقية أرق من خصر حبيبتك
من علمك أن القنبلة أجمل من الوردة
والرصاصة أكثر زهواً من البرعم.
------
أمامك إبل لاتعرف الثورة - وبدو لايحبون الحرية
لن يزهر الأسمنت
-------
نهر يسأل الجثة الطافية عن وجهتها فيهتدي لضياعه
ونسر يتضرع لقمته الأخيرة أن تطير معه قبل وصول حدائق الحيوان

غابة في المنعطف
صحراء في ساحة
جليد فوق قبة البرلمان
كهف في البيت
جحر في الرأس...
