Night Birds - طيور الليل, (Paperback)

<p><strong>Night Birds</strong> by <strong>Nikolai Leskov</strong> is a striking short novel from one of the great masters of nineteenth-century Russian literature. Set in a mysterious religious guesthouse known as <em>Agidatsia</em>, the story follows a narrator who arrives seeking spiritual peace but soon finds himself surrounded by a strange community of "waiters"-people who have come hoping for miracles, redemption, or hidden favors.</p><p>Within this peculiar house, guests are carefully observed, sorted, and assigned rooms according to their perceived worth. Some pray fervently before icons, others whisper schemes in the corridors, and behind the façade of devotion lies a complex web of ambition, superstition, corruption, and human weakness.</p><p>Through sharp dialogue, layered narration, and brilliant psychological insight, Leskov reveals the tension between genuine faith and religious hypocrisy. The novella subtly alludes to real historical debates in nineteenth-century Russia-especially those surrounding the moral teachings of Leo Tolstoy and the authority of the Orthodox Church.</p><p>Renowned for his vivid storytelling and mastery of spoken language, Leskov creates a vibrant literary world filled with memorable voices and moral ambiguity. <em>Night Birds</em> combines satire, social observation, and spiritual inquiry, offering readers a compelling exploration of belief, power, and the fragile boundaries between piety and manipulation.</p><p>This Arabic translation by <strong>Yousef Nabil</strong> introduces modern readers to one of the most distinctive voices of Russian literature and a work that continues to resonate with its timeless critique of society and faith.</p><p></p><p>&amp;#1578;&amp;#1615;&amp;#1593;&amp;#1583; <strong>&amp;#1591;&amp;#1610;&amp;#1608;&amp;#1585; &amp;#1575;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1610;&amp;#1604;</strong> &amp;#1604;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1603;&amp;#1575;&amp;#1578;&amp;#1576; &amp;#1575;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1585;&amp;#1608;&amp;#1587;&amp;#1610; &amp;#1575;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1603;&amp;#1576;&amp;#1610;&amp;#1585; <strong>&amp;#1606;&amp;#1610;&amp;#1602;&amp;#1608;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1575;&amp;#1610; &amp;#1604;&amp;#1610;&amp;#1587;&amp;#1603;&amp;#1608;&amp;#1601;</strong> &amp;#1608;&amp;#1575;&amp;#1581;&amp;#1583;&amp;#1577; &amp;#1605;&amp;#1606; &amp;#1571;&amp;#1576;&amp;#1585;&amp;#1586; &amp;#1575;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1585;&amp;#1608;&amp;#1575;&amp;#1610;&amp;#1575;&amp;#1578; &amp;#1575;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1602;&amp;#1589;&amp;#1610;&amp;#1585;&amp;#1577; &amp;#1601;&amp;#1610; &amp;#1575;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1571;&amp;#1583;&amp;#1576; &amp;#1575;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1585;&amp;#1608;&amp;#1587;&amp;#1610; &amp;#1601;&amp;#1610; &amp;#1575;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1602;&amp;#1585;&amp;#1606; &amp;#1575;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1578;&amp;#1575;&amp;#1587;&amp;#1593; &amp;#1593;&amp;#1588;&amp;#1585;. &amp;#1578;&amp;#1583;&amp;#1608;&amp;#1585; &amp;#1571;&amp;#1581;&amp;#1583;&amp;#1575;&amp;#1579;&amp;#1607;&amp;#1575; &amp;#1601;&amp;#1610; &amp;#1605;&amp;#1606;&amp;#1586;&amp;#1604; &amp;#1594;&amp;#1575;&amp;#1605;&amp;#1590; &amp;#1610;&amp;</p>
