"Beyrut": A Narrative of the Crisis of Meaning in Contemporary Man

The book "Beyrut", written by Ebrahim Akbari Dizgah and published by Sad, has been printed and awarded the Jalal Al-e Ahmad Literary Award and the Book of the Year of the Islamic Republic of Iran as recognized literary prizes in Iran.
The main character of the story, Yahya Rabbani, is a young documentarian who flees from family and religious pressures. He first goes from Iran to Germany, but the narrative quickly moves to Beirut, where Yahya encounters Imam Musa Sadr in a new experience and gradually becomes influenced by his thoughts and behavior.
Beirut in this novel is not merely a city but a symbol of inner transformation and the search for new meaning. The central theme of the book is love; a love that plays a role not only in human relationships but also in the foundation of society and faith. The prose of the book is sometimes philosophical, making it a profound and thought-provoking work.
