Zh wali sawalkara shoom
Author: Kozi, Najib Ullah
Genre: General Fiction
Every day is filled with moments, some ordinary and others extraordinary, that can be transformed into compelling stories. While everyone tells tales, not everyone has the gift to write them. Writing is an art that draws inspiration from daily life, turning it into novels, short stories, and more.
This book explores two approaches to storytelling: one where the author is a character within the story, and another where the author remains an observer, guiding the relationships between characters. Ultimately, it's about connecting with readers and finding success in the craft of narrative literature

Horoonki
Author: Muhibullah
Genre: Social Novel
This novel is inspired by the life and tragic death of Mursa, my wife's aunt, who endured unimaginable cruelty during the years of organizational wars. Married to a villager from Syed, Mursa suffered violent abuse from her in-laws, which eventually led to her death. The story is told through the character of Masooma, whose life mirrors Mursa's, though the events are fictionalized to protect the privacy of those involved. The novel portrays not only the personal suffering of Masooma but also parallels it with the broader societal and national struggles of Afghanistan during the tumult of war.
The narrative unfolds in parallel, linking Masooma's personal challenges with the collective suffering of the Afghan people. The story also touches on the life of my close friend, Farid Ahmed Arezo, whose own battle with cancer and subsequent treatment in Germany is woven into the larger fabric of the novel. Through Masooma's struggles and Farid's journey, the novel explores the emotional and societal toll of war, injustice, and survival in a deeply troubled nation

Da ibne Fatoma safarnama
Translated title: The Journey of Ibn Fattouma
Author: Mahfouz, Naguib
Genre: Social Novel / Classics
Translated
In this provocative and dreamy parable, a young man disillusioned by the corruption of his homeland sets out on a quest to find Gebel, the land of perfection, from which no one has ever returned. On his way, Ibn Fattouma passes through a series of very different lands - realms where the moon is worshipped, where marriage does not exist, where kings are treated like gods, and where freedom toleration, and justice are alternately held as the highest goods. All of these places, however, are inevitably marred by the specter of war, and Ibn Fattouma finds himself continually driven onward, ever seeking. Like the protagonists of A Pilgrim's Progress and Gulliver's Travels, Naguib Mahfouz's hero travels not through any recognizable historical landscape, but through timeless aspects of human possibility
