The Lanterns of the King of Galilee
Description
Set against the backdrop of eighteenth-century Palestine, this novel chronicles the ambitious quest of Dahir al-Umar al-Zaydani to forge an autonomous Arab state on the shores of Lake Tiberias. His vision demands a direct challenge to the formidable Ottoman Empire, while simultaneously striving to embody ideals of human dignity, justice, and religious tolerance in his governance. Through a narrative rich with love and loss, triumph and tribulation, the story brings a pivotal era of Palestinian history to vivid life. Award-winning author Ibrahim Nasrallah masterfully weaves together historical figures and fictional elements to explore the enduring struggles for this land.
