Join Jad Abdallah in the signing of his book: Adonis Expelled From Yoga.

Adonis is a young man living in an Eastern Mediterranean society which has lost connection with its Levantine roots. He finds himself obliged to return to his homeland to protect a fragment of a Phoenician statue found by his late father. The novel is about the daily life of this young man who tries to find a meaning to a dull life in a linear and materialistic society dictated by appearances and socio-cultural decline. The novel describes the different aspects of Adonis’ life: in family, at work, with friends, with women and with people he meets in the everyday life. The novel traces, in a flashback mode, nostalgic images of the Phoenician era rooted in the thoughts of Adonis. The whole is told in a satirical tone. It’s plenty of fool language. It is bitter and provocative
