Jang-i duvvum-i sag: Persian 1397

An Arabic novel. ( this book is winner of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction In 2018 ) The Second War of the Dog is a masterful vision of a dystopian future in a nameless country, using fantasy and science fiction techniques. With humour and insight, it exposes the tendency towards brutality inherent in society, imagining a time where human and moral values have been discarded and anything is permissible, even the buying and selling of human souls. The novel focuses on the corrupt main character, Rashid, who changes from an opponent of the regime to a materialistic and unscrupulous extremist. Nasrallah reveals the intrinsic savagery in human beings, as he describes a futuristic world where greed intensifies and human values and ethics are ignored. Ibrahim Nasrallah is a Jordanian-Palestinian poet, novelist, professor, painter and photographer. Nasrallah was born in the Wihdat refugee camp at Amman, Jordan. He studied in the UN agency for Palestine Refugees schools and at the UNRWA Teacher Training College in Amman.
