Published by Oussama Publishing and Distribution House, Amman \u2013 Jordan
\nBook: “Amman\u2026 The Fragrance of Time and Place\u2026 Stories About the City and Its People”
\nBy Journalist and Researcher Amer Kamel Al-Salaymeh, a son of “Downtown” whose childhood features were written on his palm, and the details of his upbringing were etched in his memory.
\nIn this book, the reader does not just read about Amman\u2026 they live it.
\nA warm journey flows between the stream, stumbles lovingly through the streets of Downtown, and sneaks into the alleys and neighborhoods, where stories hide in the corners of the place, and old faces emerge as if they never left.
\nHere, story blends with history, memory with image, and situation with feeling\u2026
\nAmman becomes not a city to be told, but a soul to be reclaimed, and a pulse to be recounted anew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":29817,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[839,881,883,835],"product_tag":[1148,1072,2943,1089],"class_list":["post-29819","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-history-and-geography","product_cat-tourism-and-trips","product_cat-customs-and-traditions","product_cat-sociology","product_tag-culture","product_tag-history","product_tag-journalism-and-media","product_tag-sociology","pa_book-author-amer-kamel-al-salaymeh","first","onbackorder","sale","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/29819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29819"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=29819"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=29819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
