Beginning and End

The name of the novel, "Beginning and End," may catch your attention, leaving you confused and wondering: What does the beginning begin with? And the end of what? These questions will quickly dissipate through the course of events, and you will realize that the name of the novel summarizes our story in two words, and places it in an elaborate framework, through which our writer depicted the events of his story, explaining that the end of that story is nothing but the inevitable fate of our beginning, for the beginning was with death and the end with death, What is in between is nothing but a set of details and events dealing with the characters of the story and their sacrifices. How did each of them begin? How did it end? This is what the writer will present to us with precise mastery and fine texture. He has traveled and traveled through the seas and colors of language, which will leave no room for doubt in yourself that what he conveys is an exact image of the reality we live in, and you will find yourself associated with his heroes and familiar with them, until you begin to live with them, for their affliction is our affliction. Their sadness made us sad, we cried as they cried, and we laughed when they laughed.
