The Dove’s neck-ring


An Andalusian author using his personal experiences and his friend’s too to deliver a masterpiece on “pure love.” The one born from a game of stares, tapping into the deepest parts of our emotions to give to our partner our consideration and devotion, until the inevitable moment of separation.


Note from Safar Editions:

Ibn Hazm delivers a surgical, almost philosophical and theological meditation on how to love, written in the tenth century. We particularly love that this book is an ode to chivalry, an admiration of our partner in a world where empathy, kindness, and respect tend to disappear.

The Story of Zahra


Zahra’s mother uses her as a cover for her meetings with a lover; Zahra’s strict father mistreats her for being complicit in her mother’s affair. Fleeing from Beirut in search of solace, Zahra stays with her uncle in West Africa—and then uses marriage as another kind of escape. Back in Beirut, love finally comes to her, but with terrible consequences. Banned in several Middle Eastern countries since its original publication, The Story of Zahra is an intoxicating, provocative story of a young woman’s coming of age in a city torn apart by war.
