Author Abdulkader Almujahed relates the smallest and most delicate details of the human imagination and visions. “Such visions have moved me for decades, compelling me to share them with those who care about the details of human feelings, which are found in our ordinary lives. They include stories of many people who were oppressed and left our world unnoticed, and lots of great love stories that have been forgotten.”
