نبي أرض الشمال

Two timelines, one stretch of Mediterranean coastline: in present-day Marseille, young physicist Omar al-Qaddah is drawn into a mystery reaching back into deep history. Centuries before Christ, on that same ground, the poet Qadmus studies under the great traveler and explorer Bithias (Pytheas). Cutting between the ancient Greek world and the modern one, the novel explores the enduring conflict between science and faith and the old legends of Gog and Magog — a work its reviewers have called "pure paper cinema."
