Ahmad Mohsen

The book attempts to blend multiple literary genres that are not widely prevalent in Arabic writings. The first is crónica, which in Arabic literature is confined to travel literature, whereas in South American literature, it is more concerned with narrative form and structure, regardless of its subject matter. The second is Nature Writing, as it emerged in poetry with Walt Whitman and in the narratives of naturalists like David Henry Thoreau, John Burroughs, and Annie Dillard. This genre seeks to engage with nature not as a mere subject for passive contemplation by the writer but as a source of knowledge, both material and spiritual.
