This novel takes the reader from our contemporary era to the Fatimid era, a thousand years ago. Through this rich and moving journey, it reveals the wonders of events and the curiosities of reality. The present meets the past, and the narrative unfolds, bringing together al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, his dangerous sister Sitt al-Mulk, the brilliant scholar al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham, the storyteller Muti’ ibn Khalaf al-Sahmi, and many others who graced this historical period, filled with joys, sorrows, and surprising details. This literary work can be described as a “novel of knowledge,” but it can also be described as a vision of the present in light of the past, an understanding of the past based on insight into current reality. In this novel, time is cyclical, always returning to where it began, for there is no starting point or ending point in a circle.

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,
