For Kanaanens Ære [Norwegian]

By Salim Nazzal

The title play is based on events from 3,500 years ago, involving an attack on a Canaanite kingdom near present-day Jerusalem. It follows Queen Biyalit, who valiantly defends her land against invaders after her pleas for military aid from Egypt go unanswered, leading to the kingdom's fall.
Modern Connection: The work bridges history and the present, notably moving to 1940s Palestine. It depicts a symbolic confrontation between a local farmer and a stranger over land ownership, rights, and historical narratives.
The collection explores resistance, dignity, and cultural affirmation. It serves as a tribute to the Canaanite heritage, suggesting that the connection between a people and their land remains unbroken even when empires fall.
The book also includes philosophical plays like "Conversations in Wartime," which take place in bomb shelters and reflect on human nature, greed, and the struggle to maintain hope during conflict.
