Al-Afileen

Published by Safahat Kitab, The Fading Ones (Al-Afileen) by Al-Anood Al-Bakr is a poignant social and psychological novel centered on empathy and self-discovery. The narrative offers an intimate look into the lives of individuals with determination (people with disabilities), advocating for their social inclusion and their fundamental right to romance, marriage, and independence. Interwoven with its humanitarian narrative, the book explores Carl Jung’s psychological theory of the "Shadow," delving into suppressed emotions, insecurities, and hidden truths that individuals often avoid confronting. Al-Bakr crafts an evocative and reflective story that encourages self-acceptance, emotional healing, and breaking societal stigmas.

It delivers an insightful and compassionate reading experience that blends disability advocacy with practical psychological reflections on confronting one's inner shadow.

Ideal for readers of character-driven Arabic social drama, psychology enthusiasts, advocates for disability rights, and anyone seeking a transformative story on self-acceptance.
