The Mesopotamians

By Saad W Farage

The Mesopotamians is a novel representing an effort to document the splendor of the marshlands of lower Mesopotamia and its inhabitants while telling an entertaining story. The novel details the life of the Me'dan People and their environment in a novel setting. The description of their culture, customs, villages, and habitats made the novel a showcase in an anthropological study of those people. It is a novel of two young Me'dan who fell in love and struggled with their way of life and beliefs. Their simple life centered around the reedbeds, water, canoes and an environment of unmistakable beauty. The plot has a mystical flavor to it. Readers will enjoy and identify with the good nature of these people. Their aspiration in life is simple but the forces that controlled their culture and tradition took them through a series of horrific events when they were about to get married. A dramatic chase in the marshlands and a tribal war blended their basic human feelings of right and wrong with the strong beliefs in honor, pride and family.Another novel by the author available on amazon: Nejim....Nejim
