↗ اشتراک‌گذاری

According to Al Jazeera, Syrian poet Issa Al-Sheikh Hassan has explored the collective memory and linguistic heritage of the Euphrates region in his new book, 'Approaches.. Misbah Al-Khamis.. Amali Furatiyah 1', published by Nard Publishing. The book, which originated from the author's interactive discussions on Facebook, examines local vocabulary from the village of Basaljah and its surroundings, bridging ancient heritage with contemporary concerns. In this work, the author not only investigates the etymological roots of words using authoritative dictionaries but also reflects on the suffering of Syrians during the war and forced displacement. By recalling personal and social memories, Al-Sheikh Hassan depicts the situation of marginalized people in relation to centers of power and emphasizes the importance of preserving native culture and language against oblivion.
