Aseel - biography in a novel (ePub)

This book is not a biography of a person, as it may seem from its cover; Rather, a biography of a society, and a culture of dominating that society. The biography of Uncle Jaber (Aseel) represents the biography of (the tribe) in the Arabian Peninsula, specifically in the pre -emergence of the Saudi (state) and its emergence. The pressure of the tribe as an existential component of the human being, and not just one of his identity, is the one who pushed a boy at the age of nine to walk for 14 days on foot, from the east of the Arabian Peninsula to its middle, and during his journey he is exposed to the maze of sand and wars, wolves and hyenas, does all This is in order to confirm the belonging to his tribe, which was born and raised away from him with his uncles tribe, where one of them described it during a kindergarten (foreigner), so this word that made the child a suicide journey in order to restore consideration to himself! However, this stubborn Bedouin, who expected us to grow up to become (the sheikh of a tribe), surprised everyone around him - among them the readers of this book - to turn in the middle of his life from (Bedouin) to (village), he acquired the cow in his clay house after he was passionate about the camels in the desert And take care of the palm in the garden of his house after he took care of the house of hair and sheep. Has (the tribe) ended and its nervousness in our society now? No, but it is no longer the only means, nor the most important way to express identity and to show the benefit. This narration/ biography is full of social landmarks of a person from the people of the Arabian Peninsula, who always responded, strongly, to the transformations of the Arabian Peninsula community from the dependence of the tribe and the Bedouin to the space of the state and the civilian, but with a solid insistence he has to maintain basic (values) that is not subject to concession!
