Dar Al Muheet publishing house, established last year, released three new books. The first entitled "Saffron Sushi –Diaries of an Emirati in Japan," by Emirati writer Dr. Fawaz bin Dayfallah, comprises 180 pages, and is composed of 50 small chapters.
In this book, the writer speaks about his own experience, saying: "From a small ad, in a small corner in Al Ittihad newspaper, this successful, human adventure full of knowledge in the Sakura country was born. It was an inspiring experience in my life, so I want to share it with the readers in all its sweetness, bitterness, difficulties, and funny moments. To be honest, a person can never stay the same after visiting Japan. I was so impressed by its people, gained a rich experience, and fulfilled my knowledge aspirations."
The second book, "The Pleasure of Philosophy" by Moroccan writer Dr. Aziz al-Haddadi, is composed of 200 pages, and includes 13 chapters that focus on the mental pleasure triggered by philosophy and the mysterious world it attracts its readers into.
In his book, the writer asks a fundamental question: Can eternity control the dialectic of disappearance and eternal return, or it has already destroyed all old bridge from the past? Then, the writer explores the revolutions of philosophers who sought to combine the pleasure of philosophy with the mental pleasure.
The third book, "History of Arabic Coffee," by Lebanese Writer and Journalist Mohammed Ghabris, is composed of 160 pages, and includes 27 small chapters that revolve around the discovery of coffee and its traditions in the UAE, and its transformations among different people.
He also explores the secret behind people's love for coffee, which has become one of the most common rituals around the world.
In his book, Ghabris quoted US writer Gertrude Stein, who once said: "Coffee is a place to be, but not like a location, but like somewhere within yourself. It gives you time, but not actual hours or minutes, but a chance to be."
He also quoted Palestinian Poet Mahmoud Darwish, who said: "I want the smell of coffee. I want five minutes. I want a five-minute truce for coffee. I no longer have a desire but making a cup of coffee. This obsession defined my mission and my goal. I dedicated all my senses for one desire…and they were triggered by one rush: coffee."
