Planks and Nails

Description

An exceptional novel about an exceptional and different world. It may be our real world after we remove its masks and peel away its paint. A world where the imaginary walls between time and space fall away, so that the past becomes the present, and the present takes on the form of the future… At first glance, the novel will be about our Prophet Noah – peace be upon him – and his ark that saved humanity from the flood, and we all know this story, but we will suddenly find ourselves a part of it, and we will even find that our entire contemporary reality is a continuation of that story; As if it never ended, as if it were constantly renewed, even as the forms of the flood changed, and with them, the shape of the ark… The story is told from the perspective of a young child who lived through the events, but we soon discover that this child resides deep within us, and that within each of us lies a remnant of him… In this novel, we find ourselves facing two choices, and only two: either to surrender to the flood and accept drowning, or to join the ark and its crew… either to pass by it and those who build it, laughing and mocking, or to reach out to the planks and nails…
