A Gamble in Lady Metsi‘s Honor

What brings together a Bedouin boy, an English lady, a retired officer, and a horse broker in one place? On an extraordinary night, the poor boy Fawzan finds himself forced to participate in a horse race at the largest racetrack in Egypt, where kings and pashas gather to fulfill the wishes of three strangers. Between love, desire, pangs of conscience, and the fear of falling into the abyss, four destinies intertwine, united by the word "hope." With eloquent style and deeply emotional dramatic portrayal, the true picture of class struggles and difficult but legitimate dreams is completed. In a long scene within a seemingly short story, a blind attachment to hope takes hold within each character, until the writer imbues the tale with a distinctive quality that makes you live alongside the protagonists, moment by moment, in anticipation and eagerness to see what will ultimately happen to the four protagonists.
