Even as a young man, Hamid Farsi is acclaimed as a master of the art of calligraphy. But as time goes by, he sees that weaknesses in the Arabic language and its script limit its uses in the modern world. In a secret society, he works out schemes for radical reform, never guessing what risks he is running.

Work Description

In Damaskus macht ein Gerücht die Runde: Nura, die schöne Frau des berühmten Kalligraphen Hamid Farsi, sei geflüchtet. Warum hat sie ein Leben, um das viele sie beneiden, hinter sich gelassen? Oder war sie Opfer einer Entführung der Gegner ihres Mannes? Schon als junger Mann wird Farsi als Wunderkind der Kalligraphie gefeiert. Nun arbeitet er verbissen an Plänen für eine radikale Reform der arabischen Sprache, nicht ahnend, dass zwischen Nura und seinem Lehrling Salman eine leidenschaftliche Liebe ihren Anfang nimmt - die Liebe zwischen einer Muslimin und einem Christen.
