Texts possess a quiet power—and sometimes, words strike the soul more deeply than all the lessons we seek to learn.
Shabbos Goy is a literary journey through the streets of Jerusalem and the heart of a man torn between stories, memories, and contradictions.
Through the life of Sayyid Nabih bin Kamal bin Salah al-Din, the novel captures the intimate struggles of Palestinians navigating a rapidly changing reality—caught between resistance and survival, identity and invisibility.
Set against the aftermath of the Oslo Peace Accords and the eruption of the Second Intifada, the book paints a vivid portrait of a society reshaped by politics, economics, and loss. Yet, beneath the heaviness, it carries a subtle, dark humor—a laughter that begins at oneself and ends at the absurdities of life under occupation.
Rooted deeply in Palestinian–Jerusalemite life, Shabbos Goy moves between fiction and reflection, between past and present, between what is remembered and what refuses to be forgotten.
It is both a novel and a mirror—inviting readers everywhere to recognize themselves in the quiet, persistent question it asks:
What do we do with the weight we carry?

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Set against the ancient, layered backdrop of Jerusalem, 'Shabbos Goy' by Aref Husseini is a profoundly moving and evocative novel that unearths the raw, beating heart of human resilience and memory. Spanning across generations-from the twilight of the Ottoman Empire and the British Mandate to the transformative upheavals of 1948 and 1967-this masterfully crafted narrative traces the intricate destiny of a family caught in the crosscurrents of history.At the center of this evocative journey is Nabih, a young boy born with dark features that defy his family's expectations, wearing a golden amulet to ward off envy. Through his eyes, readers are pulled into a world defined by the sudden imposition of a 'Green Line' that split realities overnight. Nabih's path takes him from a sheltered, yet observant childhood to the grueling, eye-opening realities of manual labor as an electrician's apprentice, and eventually, into the complex, often absurd ironies of modern life under occupation.Husseini weaves a tapestry that is as mysterious as it is deeply inspiring. Without revealing the intricate turns of the plot, the novel masterfully balances bittersweet humor with poignant reflection, exploring profound questions of identity, genetic inheritance, and the invisible threads of tradition that shape our choices. It is not merely a chronicle of a place, but an intimate, fiercely authentic anatomy of a soul striving for self-awareness and dignity in a world built on divisions. This is a literary tour de force that lingers in the mind long after the final page is turned. N° de réf. du vendeur 9782386600852
