يَكْرَهُ الفِيلُ مُشَارَكةَ الأَغْراضِ، فَعِنْدَمَا أَعْطَتْهُ الجَدَّةُ مِضْرَبًا وَكُرَةً جَدِيدَيْنِ أَدْرَكَ أَنَهُ مِنَ المُسْتَحِيلِ أَنْ يَستَطيع اللَّعِبَ وَحْدَهُ، وَيَجِبُ أَنْ يَقْنعَ أَصْدِقَاءَهُ بِاللَّعِبِ مَعَهُ.. فَهَلْ سَيَتَمَكَنُ مِنْ إِقْنَاعِهِمْ بَعْدَمَا كَانَ أَنَانِيًّا مَعَهُمْ؟

هَذِهِ القِصَّةُ تَمْنَحُ الأَطْفَالَ الفُرْصَةَ لاِستِكْشَافِ المُشَاركَةِ وَأَهميتِهَا، وَكَيْفَ أَنَّ عَدَمَ المُشَاركَةِ يُمْكِنُهُ أَنْ يُحْزِنَ الآخَرِينَ.. بِالكِتَابِ اقْتِرَاحَاتٌ لِأَنْشِطَةٍ وَفِكَرٍ يُمْكِنُ مُنَاقَشَتُهَا مَعَ الأَطْفَالِ حَوْلَ الكِتَابِ وَمُحْتَوَاهُ.

Out of Place

From one of the most important intellectuals of our time comes an extraordinary story of exile and a celebration of an irrecoverable past. A fatal medical diagnosis in 1991 convinced Edward Said that he should leave a record of where he was born and spent his childhood, and so with this memoir he rediscovers the lost Arab world of his early years in Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt. Said writes with great passion and wit about his family and his friends from his birthplace in Jerusalem, schools in Cairo, and summers in the mountains above Beirut, to boarding school and college in the United States, revealing an unimaginable world of rich, colorful characters and exotic eastern landscapes. Underscoring all is the confusion of identity the young Said experienced as he came to terms with the dissonance of being an American citizen, a Christian and a Palestinian, and, ultimately, an outsider. Richly detailed, moving, often profound, Out of Place depicts a young mans coming of age and the genesis of a great modern thinker.

End of the Peace Process

     Soon after the Oslo accords were signed in September 1993 by Israel and Palestinian Liberation Organization, Edward Said predicted that they could not lead to real peace.  In these essays, most written for Arab and European newspapers, Said uncovers the political mechanism that advertises reconciliation in the Middle East while keeping peace out of the picture.
