“Time of white horses” by Ibrahim Nasrallah

This novel, by every measure, is an epic, generational one. It descends from a dynasty of deep-rooted Arabic novels which historically speaking, goes back to the days of publishing the trilogy of Nagib Mahfouz, the most famous Egyptian Noble Prize laureate. Tracing the history of Palestinian Village, the life of three generations of one of its families, Ibrahim Nasrallah symbolizes the tragedy of the Palestinian people through three epochs: the rule of the Ottoman Empire, the British mandate and the Nakba of 1948.

“I do not fight to achieve victory, rather I Fight in order not to give up my right. It has never been the case that a nation has maintained its victory forever. My only fear is that we lose forever, for he who loses will never rise up again. Tell them to beware not to lose forever”

“Time of white horses” is considered by critics are the most eloquent novel in Palestinian literature as it deals with the history of the Palestinian people from the social, cultural, historical and political aspects
