Between the pages of this book is a distinguished collection of articles, letters and thoughts that come to us from the pen of the esteemed writer Maroun Abboud. These pages take us on a poignant journey through that difficult historical period when the French Empire extended its control over Lebanon. We will learn about the sorrows and pains that the writer experienced and which express his conscience. The patriot and his love, the book mixes conflict and hope, and Maroun Abboud reviews his role as a writer and struggler, and how he used his pen as a weapon to motivate his colleagues in the struggle and urge them to persevere and defend their homeland.
