Time of White Horses

The Palestinian Comedy Series

The definitive epic of Palestine. Ibrahim Nasrallah chronicles three generations of the village of "Al-Hadiya," using the symbolism of white horses to tell the story of a people who chose freedom and embraced their land.

About this book

In his monumental epic, "Time of White Horses," Ibrahim Nasrallah constructs an unprecedented literary masterpiece that rewrites Palestinian history from within. Spanning three pivotal eras—the Ottoman, the British Mandate, and the 1948 Nakba—the novel paints a breathtaking portrait of daily life in the village of "Al-Hadiya." The protagonist here is the collective soul: the land, the people, and the legendary mare, "Al-Hamama." Nasrallah masterfully weaves together themes of chivalry, romance, and resistance through the eyes of the freedom fighter, Khaled. It is a profound work exposing the tragic loss of a homeland while celebrating a resilient identity that refuses to be erased.

Why read it?

Because it is far more than a novel; it is a profound living document that offers the ultimate key to understanding the Palestinian cause through human emotion and raw drama. Nasrallah’s poetic and majestic prose will captivate you, making the words gallop and the sentences pulse with life.

Who is it for?

For enthusiasts of expansive, multi-generational historical epics; for seekers of the authentic roots of Arab and Palestinian identity; for lovers of chivalry and resistance literature; and for any reader longing for a world-class masterpiece that flawlessly blends narrative pleasure with a powerful cause.
