Description

The Latin Quarter—its imaginary image filled his thoughts and feelings, obscuring everything else with a thick veil. He passed through the streets of Marseille, but never saw it. He spent an entire day there, but never felt it. He spent fourteen hours on the train, which caused intense distress in his chest. But he forgot everything when the train entered Lyon Station. Soon, he would be in the Latin Quarter. The impossible dream would come true. After a short while, the life he had always lived in his imagination would begin, ever since he had the means to travel to Paris. You are now in the Latin Quarter. In this novel, Suhail Idriss was able to make the human soul the stage for a conflict between Beirut and Paris, between East and West. The East, with its religions, morals, traditions, steadfastness, and desire for liberation, and the West, with its freedom, progress, culture, and colonial tendencies.
