Masr El Arabia for Publishing and Distribution
We are Masr El Arabia for Publishing and Distribution, an Egyptian publishing house located in Cairo – Egypt. Established in 1977 with a focus on distribution and few but carefully selected titles. In 2007 we decided to shift more to publishing and started with academic books then lately we added a new line which is translated literature, we care most about the quality of the work and we managed to present many foreign authors for the first time to the Arab readers such as Goncalo Tavares, Immanuel Mifsud, Reiner Englemann, Julian Fuks, Kelly James Clark and others, also we managed to publish the Nobel laureate Svetlana Alexievich (Chernobyl Prayer) 2015, Jo Nesbo and many others during the past few years. We would like to mention that prior to the publishing house, we established Al Thaqafa Al Jadeeda Bookshop in the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi) which was one of the first book shops in the country. We participate in almost all the Arab book fairs, and we have our books distributed in every Arab country through the major bookshop chains and local distributors.

2018The Blue Days, the Punishment Night
by Mojtaba Hoshyar Mahboob
The Blue Days, the Punishment Night is a novelette. It’s a crazy story of separation and deals with the sad days after the loss. The main character travels to a strange land to bring back what he lost. Where the line between fantasy and reality is blurred and everything seems strange. Davoud had fallen in love with Sarah in a pharmacy. Because of Sarah, the days were more colorful than ever and the moments were sweeter. Sarah had made Davoud like himself again. Davoud had found life in Sarah and now it was logical that he would not be able to bear this life after Sarah's accident and death. This pain and loneliness were killing him gradually. So he decided to build a device called a "living memory". The device used to work by inserting photos of Sarah, summoning Sarah's ghost, and then, Davoud had an hour to see Sarah's ghost, talk to her, laugh and live, and then gone again. The opportunity to meet was limited. No, that was not the way. So Davoud went to a tunnel that led to a strange land called Marzin. The inhabitants said his missing one was there and he could find her. Davoud found out that Sarah is inside a large palace and was waiting for him behind the window. He became friends with Taimur and Nazanin and looked for Sarah with them. But it was not that simple. Yellow snakes had taken over the city and the lives of the inhabitants were in danger. Nazanin was killed by one of these snakes. Davoud became alone. Taimur also fell prey to a cheetah and perished. Davoud became more alone. Now it was just him and himself. Could he pass through this difficult path and bring Sarah back? Could he rid himself of the one who was slashing his face and throwing him down from the well? Or not, could he give up this sentimental endeavor and cope with this loss?
