Time of White Horses

Ibrahim Nasrallah

How much of a people's history can be erased before it disappears forever?

Time of White Horses is the crown jewel of Ibrahim Nasrallah’s epic "Palestinian Comedy" project. Spanning over a century of Palestinian history, specifically the Ottoman and British mandate eras leading up to the Nakba of 1948, the novel centers on the village of Hadiya. Through the lives of three generations of a single family and their deep spiritual bond with their white horses, Nasrallah paints a vivid, heartbreaking portrait of a lost world.

Shortlisted for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction, this masterpiece is not just a historical account but a poetic act of preservation. It meticulously reconstructs the folklore, social fabric, and heroic resistance of a people, ensuring that the memory of the land remains etched in history even after the maps have changed.
