While set within a unique time period in Yemen's history, the novel is timely today as the centrifugal forces of national chauvinism and parochialism seek to further entrench psychological borders between peoples. With its richly developed scenes and moving depiction of a society teetering on a precipice, \u003ci\u003eAdeni Incense\u003c\/i\u003e is a masterwork of storytelling, leaving the reader with indelible memories of beloved characters and uncertainty over the viability of pluralism and diversity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTeeming with Indians, Arabs, Somalis, Europeans, and others, Aden is no like no other city in the world. A transcendent city. A city for all no matter Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, or animist. And when \"Michel,\" a young Frenchman washes ashore, fleeing his past in search of a new future, he's immediately drawn into this intoxicating cocktail of dreamers, revolutionaries, artists, and politicians who have all found a place within the city's vibrant atmosphere. Yet not all is as it seems. Monumental changes and forces are bearing down on Aden, threatening to erupt and refashion its identity, and redefine who can lay claim to the city that has always welcomed misfits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christiaan James,Ali Al-Muqri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788710916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788710916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dararab for Publishing and Translation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.73d","brand":"Christiaan James","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801323909375,"sku":"9781788710916","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/adeni-incense-christiaan-james-9781788710916","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
