On Nizam’s national ID card, no religion is listed. Muslim by birth, he is Christian by baptism. As a young boy, he found his way into an orchard while playing, and its owners, Touma and Rakheema, instantly fell for him and agreed to raise him as their own, as a Christian, without much resistance from his Muslim parents. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-LY;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen he is grown, Nizam makes his way to Beirut to study law. Unable to bear the confines of the classroom, he abandons college to explore the city as he pleases. His apartment soon becomes a meeting place for his communist comrades, and he falls in love with Janan, the tormented artist whose dark paintings prophesy the city’s bloody future. When Beirut explodes, and the city is divided into a Christian East and a Muslim West, Nizam’s apartment turns into a hideout for armed militiamen, and Burj Square is emptied of everything except the Martyrs’ Statue that bears witness to the city’s most difficult moments. Nizam, too, bears witness, as he sees the corpses of the civil war’s victims pile up.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fergiani Bookshop \/ مكتبة الفرجاني","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856536043851,"sku":"9780857429810","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1788\/7307\/files\/IMG_20250521_0005_NEW.jpg?v=1747829892","url":"https:\/\/fergianibooks.com\/de\/products\/firefly-by-jabbour-douaihy","provider":"Fergiani Bookshop \/ مكتبة الفرجاني","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
