{"product_id":"the-desert-stories-abu-bakr-9781685097035","title":"The Desert Stories","description":"The Desert Stories is a collection of short stories that celebrates storytelling. It pays homage to a period when stories and their lessons were ubiquitous, for all the phases of life. It takes traditional stories from monotheistic religions and presents it with a twist. In doing so, it blurs the differences between them and attempts to retell the positivity of life. The stories begin with characters posing various questions from the usual walk of life, these questions then lead to the story within. The collection blends parables, Sufi thoughts, and philosophies in the narration eventually acting as a poetic medicament for harsh reality. Often, the endings are not noisy and dramatic, but tranquil and serene. The stories compel us to linger on to contemplate the aftermath. Each story is a journey within.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abu Bakr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1685097030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781685097035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Notion Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.21d","brand":"Abu Bakr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485852807423,"sku":"9781685097035","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_162ec104-4a58-405d-b05c-871d2cb9fce5.jpg?v=1778052042","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-desert-stories-abu-bakr-9781685097035","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
