Three Voices from the Galilee cover

Three Voices from the Galilee is the third in a series of volumes meant to present the short fiction of Mohammad Naffaa, a political activist, Zaki Darwish, an educator, and Naji Daher, a journalist. These stories faithfully record the development of the various aspects of what is paradoxically called Israeli-Palestinian life. Readers of this volume will encounter serious stories strewn with light and humorous scenes and stories of intense love mixed with stories of the unusual. Story after story presents a different choice in terms of point of view, gender and setting. Each character is exciting and convincing. While casual readers of this volume will taste the flavor of a different culture, scholars interested in Arabic literature will be provided with new arenas for academic evaluations and critique.

«Translation may block the flow of intellect or blur the sweetness of a created idea. In ‘Three Voices from the Galilee’, however, creativity transcends all limits: poetic language is portrayed in the most elegant costume while ideas preserve their beautiful originality.» (Mahmud Naamnah, Lecturer and Critic)
