Dilmonia

About this book

Between graves' silence and modernity's din, a rift in time opens to recast the tale of an island never merely a geographic spot, but "the elixir of life" and immortality's abode. The tale begins from the heart of "Dilmonia's" giant burial grounds, where our hero finds himself driven by a mysterious curiosity toward a specific grave on the western edge, not to excavate the soil, but to interrogate the silence that breathes only when senses stop their din. In the mid-eighteenth century, the destiny of Adam, the traveler from Western lands, intersects with the destiny of Kawla, daughter of the earth carrying in her eyes a legacy of steadfastness and wisdom. It is an arduous journey transcending place's bounds; from Europe's countryside and its feudalism-and-church struggles, reaching the Gulf shores where pearl writes blood-and-sweat history, and where show trials and accumulated debts draw tyranny and freedom's features. "Dilmonia" is no mere historical novel, but a human plea searching "the doubt that builds no judgment," and the sacrifices we perform.
