Revenge

“Revenge: A Brief Account of Retribution” addresses a timeless human concern: why do people seek retaliation, and how does the experience of injury or injustice become a demand for punishment? Based on its title and framing, the book invites readers to think about revenge not merely as an impulse, but as a moral, psychological, and social phenomenon.

This book is worth reading because it offers a focused way to examine one of the most morally charged ideas in human life: revenge as both a personal desire for redress and a challenge to justice. Its concise framing makes it a useful entry point for readers who want a thoughtful discussion of retribution, punishment, and ethics without committing to a highly specialized study.

This book is suited to readers of philosophy, ethics, and the social sciences, as well as anyone interested in justice, punishment, and the meanings of retaliation. It may also appeal to humanities students and general readers looking for a concise Arabic translation that opens discussion around revenge and retribution in personal and collective life.
