| Publisher Description: "Written to Toil" generates a tide of mixed and contradicted emotions. It takes you high in the sky of a world of love, and at the same time crashes into the tough reality, while sometimes it leaves you stuck between the taboos and the desires, the mind and the heart. It takes you through a journey of an ordinary, middle-class instructor who feels unbelonging to the corrupted society of his, to the wonderland of his life, and allows spectacular views of it from different angles; the good, the bad, and the ugly. His affair with Suzan, his own icon of freedom, is the turning point of his life which shocks him with emotions he never experienced, and unleashes his revolted spirit. Located in The Middle East, "Written to Toil" is influenced by the chaos and the tough circumstances that nourished the rise of The Arab Spring. It provides a panoramic view of the political, religious, economic, and even psychological difficulties that faces ordinary people. For those who do not know much about The Middle East, as well as those who do, "Written to Toil" is indeed a valuable experience that gives the chance to see it through a transparent, real-life spectacles, away from ISIS and what is typically presented in the media.
