Book snapshot

Sultan is an ambitious young Emirati man who lives between his passion for sports and the responsibilities of everyday life.In the midst of his busy schedule, he hears about a book that piques his curiosity—The Pianist—which his university classmate Reem has been talking about.He decides to read it, unaware that this small decision will lead him on a journey that touches his heart before his mind.“Strangeness in my homeland and loneliness in my soul, a strangeness that lashes out at all feelings, O stranger among them and lonely in my heart, perhaps I will die alone.I regret my sadness, and I regret my situation, nothing more. I do not condone, but I turn a blind eye to the mouths of volcanoes waiting for someone to provoke them, and here I am, agitated, and here the fires are burning inside me while I am alive, and here I am looking at myself as if I were dead, seeing nothing but gray.”One of Malak’s thoughtsAnd this is where the real story begins, when the mind meets the heart and reality meets imagination.The book, written by a sensitive, emotional girl who expresses herself through writing and playing music, becomes a mirror through which Sultan sees himself.Her words are not only told but felt, and between the lines, the reader begins a journey toward what he feels but does not reveal.Read The Pianist to discover what you never dared to say.
