La Profumeuse

When my daughter was born, I decided to publish my first book ‘An unexpected intruder’ in 2009, a novel in Spanish, my first foreign language, which I learnt by myself. As I met people from all over the world, I had the idea to write in four different languages. In 2010, I published ‘Salam’, in 2013, ‘Omnia’, in 2015, ‘120’, in 2016 ‘Nadima’, in 2017 ‘What’s up?’, in 2018 ‘Sad Sauce’ and in 2020 ‘La Profumeuse’, stories in Arabic, English, Spanish and French. As a writer , I hope to leave a clear and sincere message before passing away. I am a simple and humble man, a slave of our times. I love peace like you all and I think one can find it in a good book.



La Profumeuse 2020

 Safiy was hungry and tired while taking his last oral exam at the end of the year. The Profsmoker – her surname- let him choose the topic. He was talking shyly. When he looked at her, she was looking at the mirror and combing her hair. She was old and ugly. He could not continue. She put the comb and the mirror back in her bag. Did you bring my last book I recommended to you? I found it very expensive! So, you want to succeed this way? He knew his future was in the hand of a witch called The Profsmoker! The university was the worst disappointment of my life. ‘The Profsmoker’ is my eighth book and one of my next novel’s chapters.

 Safiy estaba hambriento mientras pasaba su último examen oral al final del año. La Profumadora – su apellido- le dejó escoger el tema. Hablaba tímidamente. Cuando la miró, estaba peinándose ante el espejo. Era vieja y fea. Él ya no podía continuar. Puso el peine y el espejo en su bolsa. ¿Has traído mi último libro que os he recomendado? Lo encontré muy caro. ¿Así, quieres aprobar de esta manera? Supo que su futuro estaba en la mano de la bruja llamada La Profumadora. La universidad fue la peor decepción de mi vida. “La Profumadora” es mi octavo libro y uno de los capítulos de mi próxima novela.

 Safiy était affamé et fatigué alors qu’il passait son dernier examen oral. La Profumeuse – son surnom- le laissa choisir le thème. Il parlait timidement. Quand il la regarda, elle se peignait le miroir à la main. Elle était vieille et laide. Il ne pouvait continuer. Elle remit son peigne et son miroir dans son sac. As-tu apporté mon dernier livre que je vous ai recommandé ? Je l’ai trouvé trop cher. Et tu veux réussir de la sorte ? Il savait que son futur était entre les mains de la sorcière nommée La Profumeuse. L’université fut la pire déception de ma vie. « La Profumeuse » est mon huitième livre et l’un des chapitres de mon prochain roman.

   تَقَدَّمَ صَفِيُ جَائِعاً لآخِرِ اخْتِبَارٍ شَفَوِيٍّ لَهُ نِهَايَةَ السَّنَةِ. تَرَكَتْهُ اَلشَّمْقَاءُ وَهُوَ لَقَبُهَا يَخْتَارُ مَوْضُوعَ عَرْضِهِ. اِبْتَدَأَ الْحَدِيثَ بِخَجَلٍ. حِينَمَا  نَظرَ إِلَيْهَا كَانَتْ تَمْشِطُ شَعَرَهَا. كَانَتْ مُسِنَّةً وَقَبِيحَةً. لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَكْثَرَ. وَضَعَتْ الْمِرْآةَ وَالمُشْطَ فِي مِحْفَظَتِهَا. – هَلْ أَحْضَرْتَ كِتَابِي الَّذِي أَوْصَيْتُكُمْ بِهِ؟ – وَجَدْتُهُ غَالِياً جِدّاً. – وَتَظُنُّ أَنَّكَ سَتَنْجَحُ هَكَذَا؟ رَأَى بِوُضُوحٍ أَنَّ مُسْتَقْبَلَهُ يَتَعَلَّقُ بِشِرِّيرَةٍ لَقَبُهَا اَلشَّمْقَاء.
 كَانَتْ اَلْجَامِعَةُ 

أَسْوَأَ خَيْبَةٍ فِي حَيَاتِي.
 “اَلشَّمْقَاءُ” هُوَ كِتَابِي اَلثَّامِنُ وَأَحَدُ فُصُولِ رِوَايَتِي الْقَادِمَةِ.
