In the Country of Men by Hisham Batar

Aung San Suu Kyi once said, "In fear of the basic human rights being denied, fear is often a command of the day." This is the basic reality of the Libyan people living under Gaddafi's repressive regime. In order to adapt to the government's social desire and partisan desire, citizens live in constant fear. The foundation of terrorism Libya's society is built in an unstable environment that forces people to betray. Sureyman betrayed his best friend Kalim when he tried to eliminate his frustration of lack of understanding of family life.

Hisham visited last year in Arkansas with his latest book, a "memoiris" called "Return" (I am familiar with his work through his novel "The Country of Mankind"). In the general reading of the library, Syrian women asked him that in the past five years he was able to write down everything he had in the Arab world. Between these two positions: What insists that all literature should be one or the other of politics, while literature and politics should not be confused, and the author's voice will be lost. If the author 's work depends mainly on one of these two extreme positions, the result will be the declaration of the party, not the art work.

Hisham Matar considers "the land of man" as a national allegory. This is done through metaphor, anthropomorphism, and relationships. His purpose in writing this novel is political. A national fable is a human characteristic attributed to abstract concepts such as other animals, non-biological, material states, objects, or state organizations and governments, or their citizens. 2 Frederic Jameson, better suited for novels than Aijaz Ahmad, is the first person to think about fables throughout the country.

In the human country, Hisham Matar lives in this old Arab Spring Libyan novel, a little boy living under suppression of dictators. His life is defined by her mother's dissatisfaction with her emotional identity, her fear of participation in a revolutionary husband, and denying her enthusiasm for her son. From a juvenile perspective, this novel gives people a sense of how fear can distort the behavior of people living in the dictatorship and the loneliness of life in such society. Can the child's abandoned culture recover?
