Barefoot Joe is a novel by W. B. Kinsella, which won the Hague and Gnon Mifflin Literary Fellowship and the Iowa Baseball League. It is the basis for the international film “Field of Dreams,” translated into Arabic by Mohamed Salah Nasser.
The novel is about baseball and the protagonist’s dream of turning his cornfield into a large baseball stadium. His wife’s family opposes him, but his wife stands in solidarity with him. The protagonist has friends, one of whom weakens and betrays him, but his spirit of love prevails. He persists despite all the obstacles that stand in the way of his dream. What distinguishes this work is that it highlights the protagonist’s creative spirit, as he transforms his cornfield into a large sports stadium and faces challenges he had hoped to overcome. This demonstrates that perseverance and determination are the primary motivation for progress and success. They said of the novel: “It’s a wonderfully terrifying book, not so much about baseball as it is about dreams, magic, life, and what is quintessentially American… a work that will outlive this season and many more.
