Орхан Памук – известный турецкий писатель, обладатель многочисленных национальных и международных премий, в числе которых Нобелевская премия по литературе за «поиск души своего меланхолического города». Душа города всегда обретается в его прошлом, возможно, поэтому талант Памука так блестяще проявляется в исторических романах, таких как «Имя мне – Красный» и «Белая крепость». Сюжет «Белой крепости», действие которого происходит в 17 веке, одновременно прост и загадочен, подобно древней арабской миниатюре: главный герой, молодой итальянец, попадает в плен к туркам, где становится рабом странного человека, одержимого познанием вселенной.

Najwa Zebian: The Collected Poems is an audio collection of Zebian's bestselling poetry, including the full text of Mind Platter, The Nectar of Pain, and Sparks of Phoenix. This bundled audiobook allows listeners to access all of Zebian’s moving work in one place, in the author’s own voice.

Mind Platter is a compilation of reflections on life as seen through the eyes of an educator, student, and human who experienced her early days in silence. It is written in the words of a woman who came from Lebanon to Canada at the age of 16 and experienced what it was like to have fate push her to a place where she didn't belong. It is written in the voice of every person who has felt unheard, mistreated, misjudged, or unseen. 

As the phoenix emerges from its ashes, Zebian emerges ablaze in these words, not only as a survivor of abuse, but as a teacher and healer for all those who have struggled to understand, reclaim, and rise above a history of pain. The book is divided into six chapters, and six stages of healing: Falling, Burning to Ashes, Sparks of Phoenix, Rising, Soaring, and finally, A New Chapter, which demonstrates a healthy response to new love as the result of authentic healing.
