Llibres

Infantil i juvenil

Sonia Nimr és una destacada autora palestina que escriu històries contemporànies amb elements folklòrics per a lectors de totes les edats. El seu avi, Saïd Nimr, fou un pioner de la medicina a Palestina i l’oncle, Essam Nimr, va participar en el primer allunatge amb la nau Apol·lo. La mare, que des de petita l’animava a llegir relats, fou qui la va engrescar a dedicar-se als contes infantils.

The Thunderbird trilogy is a fast-paced time-traveling fantasy adventure centered on Noor, a young orphaned Palestinian girl who starts in the present and must go back in time to get four magical bird feathers and save the world. Noor begins her journey through different historical periods, striving to keep the wall between worlds intact.
Noor finds herself in the year 1177 in Jerusalem, during the Crusades. Like the first book in the Thunderbird trilogy, Book Two combines the magical with real events from Palestinian history to take the reader on a wild and adventurous ride through time.
In the third and final book of the Thunderbird trilogy, Noor finds herself in Byzantine Jerusalem, in the year 638 CE, where the city is under siege. She is joined by Sabeeka, the djinn who takes the form of a cat, and meets the twins Helena and Julian, who have the power of healing. 
A richly imagined feminist-fable-plus-historical-novel that tells an episodic travel narrative, like that of the great 14th century Moroccan traveler Ibn Battuta, through the eyes of a clever and irrepressible young Palestinian woman.
(A partir de 7 anys)
Why do snakes eat frogs? What makes a man-eating ghoul turn vegetarian? And how can a woman make a bored prince smile? The answers to these and many other questions can be found in this delicious anthology of Palestinian folk tales collected and retold by Sonia Nimr.
Twelve-year-old Karim Aboudi and his family are trapped in their Ramallah home by a strict curfew. In response to a Palestinian suicide bombing, the Israeli military subjects the West Bank town to a virtual siege. Meanwhile, Karim longs to play football with his friends. 

Novel·la

Five-year-old Milad Salama is excited for a school trip to a theme park on the outskirts of Jerusalem. On the way, his bus collides with a semitrailer. It is every parent’s worst nightmare, but for Abed it is compounded by the maze of physical, emotional, and bureaucratic obstacles he must navigate because he is Palestinian.
Palestine + 100 poses a question to twelve Palestinian writers: what might your country look like in the year 2048 – a century after the tragedies and trauma of what has come to be called the Nakba. Probably is the first anthology of science fiction from Palestine ever.
The stories in this anthology are the work of a new generation of Palestinian writers who began to appear in the 1960s both inside Palestine and abroad. The writers of the diaspora developed many themes among them, life in the camps and the wandering Palestinian. Those living inside occupied Palestine had to contend with political repression and so generally resorted to symbolism and illusion while focussing on the inner worlds of their characters.
This book is a compelling collection of short stories from fifteen young writers in Gaza. Their experiences, especially during and following Israel’s 2008-2009 offensive known as “Operation Cast Lead”, have fundamentally impacted their lives and their writing.

No ficció

Filiu’s book was the first comprehensive history of Gaza to be published in any language. This new, updated edition covers events since 2011, including Gaza’s renewed tragic centrality to world politics and security since the events of October 2023
Adopting a fresh and original approach, Bunton explores the Palestinian-Israeli dispute in twenty-year segments, to highlight the historical complexity of the conflict throughout successive decades.
Light in Gaza is a anthology of Palestinian writers and artists. It constitutes a collective effort to organize and center Palestinian voices in the ongoing struggle. As political discourse shifts toward futurism as a means of reimagining a better way of living, beyond the violence and limitations of colonialism.

In the letter, Kanafani is writing to his friend Mustafa, who has moved to Sacramento for a teaching position. The two men had always hoped to leave Gaza together and seek life elsewhere, but after his most recent visit home—during which he finds his young niece Naida violently injured—Kanafani’s views have changed. Gaza was brand new, Mustafa! he says, You and I never saw it like this
