The Narrow Path to the Unknown North
$18.00$20.00
This is a book that offers a thought experiment and a personal adventure in self-discovery, with an exploration of the remote places and challenges of spiritual journeys.
In his sixth novel, “The Narrow Path to the Unknown North,” whose title is taken from a haiku poem by the famous Japanese poet Matsuo Basho, Australian novelist Richard Flanagan seems to be aware of the threads of life as a whole. The novel is a kind of appreciation and gratitude to his father who was forced to work in laying railway lines.
Flanagan spent twelve years completing his novel, which secured him the Man Booker Prize for Literature in 2014. He says that he wrote five different drafts of it, and isolated himself completely in a hut on an island outside his hometown of Tasmania for six months to finish it. The novel was recently published in its Arabic version by Al-Jamal Publications in Beirut, translated by Khaled Al-Jubaili. The writer drew inspiration for the events of his novel from his father’s experience as a prisoner of war by the Japanese army during World War II. It is the story of Dorrigo Evans with war, detention, and his love for Amy. Evans, a surgeon who is interned in a labor camp on the Thailand-Burma railway, known as the “Death Railway,” and tries to help the men facing starvation, death, cholera, and beatings there.
