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.

Prisoner of Heaven
د.ا7.10After the shadow of the wind and the angel game, I ended my strange meeting with Carlos Zafon in the third part of the Tomb of Forgotten Books series in this piece that I read while trying to understand what was going on in his head, which wanted the prisoner of heaven to tell us the dark nights of Barcelona from the window of its prisons, that prison that embraced Martin for a long time and through which he excelled in writing The Game of the Angel, which was the hero of that novel David Martin and Isabella, and we got to know their end, which was not confirmed by the lines. The writer also explains that what we can consider a coincidence with us may be wisely studied and what we interact with with all honesty may be fake and obsolete as the first boot, the past is just images stuck in our heads and just a glance of it returns to expose itself, and opens new cracks in our hearts, pushing you to search and explore what the truth is and to what extent it can comfort you or in any proportion that may make you a wreckage between the legs, yet the search for it is The way of salvation,

My journey from doubt to faith
د.ا2.13I refused to worship God because I was immersed in worshipping myself and admired the flash of light that began to flash in my mind with the opening of consciousness and the beginning of the awakening from the cradle of childhood.
This psychological state was behind the controversial scene that recurs every day. I also missed the origins of logic and I am dealing with logic and I did not realize that I am contradicting myself as I recognize the Creator and then say who created the Creator and make him a creature at the time when I call him a creator, which is sophistry itself.
Moreover, to say a first cause of existence requires that this cause must exist in itself and not dependent or need others to exist. If a cause needs a cause, this makes it one of the causal links and does not make it a first cause.د.ا3.55
