A Thousand Curses & One Blessing Hicham Talbi

A Thousand Curses & One Blessing is an original book that manifests itself as a rich and varied composition of never-before-seen diaries, stories, poems and quotes. It explicitly, bravely and unapologetically recounts a young man's multitudinous struggles in life, such as depression, suicide, the existential crisis, domestic violence and abuse, heartbreak as well as the conflict between religion and spirituality. Divided into two main parts, this book is a heartfelt account of a man who has seen it all yet refused so to fall. It furthermore purports to promote fundamental notions like self-love, self-acceptance and self-affirmation, crowning Love as the universal religion and power. The book is quite dark in theme, but it is a volcano of genuine and overflowing feelings. The world, as it is, is a very sad place. Reality is harsh and truth is harsher still. Nevertheless, writers are there to embolden you, remind you that you are not alone and make you feel a little bit less lonely.
