The novel

 

 

Muscat,(ONA) - In an exciting fictional experiment, writer Mo'az bin Khalfan Al-Raqadi presents his first literary work, "Yawm Sultanah", issued by Luban Publishing House, to consolidate his presence as a writer this time, defying the circumstances as he suffers from a "visual impairment", which did not prevent him from obtaining US patents in the world of mechanics.

Under the main title of the novel, he places another introductory line explaining that the idea is "a journey in search of roots from the outskirts of Moscow to the Capitol". On the back cover, it states that it is "an exciting adventure as it is fun, and a narrative plot that mixes fiction with reality." Through its pages, "the writer weaves the threads of an entertaining novel" of a story that occurred in the nineteenth century with the crime of theft of a pearl necklace during the voyage of the Arab Ship Sultana, so a professor of psychology at Moscow College would help find the necklace that belonged to an Arab immigrant girl, and the criminal investigation proceeded up to American New York City in strange unexpected events.

The novel is far from the expected police atmosphere to deal with aspects of the history of the Omani empire and its relationship with the Western powers until the middle of the twentieth century, as characters move between cultures and cities in America and Europe, so past events are mixed with present-day discoveries and modern technology.

Mo'az Al-Raqadi divides his novel into seventeen chapters, starting with the first entitled "The meeting of the roots" passing through the New York Marina in 1840, to the final chapter, entitled "There must be an end", as the narrator says, continuing his narrative flow between the components of the work through its temporal passage or spatial movements.
